As Teacher Appreciation Week 2020 comes to an end, we thought you might like to see the latest and greatest tweets we’ve found from parents sharing their newfound appreciation for teachers through homeschooling in quarantine.
1. When mom is the new teacher…
Me: You know what we should get the teacher for Teacher Appreciation Week?
— Jessie (@mommajessiec) April 27, 2020
Husband: No, what?
Me: That new kitchen she’s always wanted.
2. Your sanity depends on it…
But they get summers off! LOL… and now those people know why. Pay the damn teachers like your sanity depends on it. Cuz it does.

3. Calculator fun…
Tween: This is not how my math teacher solves the problem.
— Jessie (@mommajessiec) April 3, 2020
Me: *typing 80085 into the calculator*
4. Well put…
Absolutely this! I’m not homeschooling my kids; they are distance learning. Our teachers are pushing through challenges to provide quality education to our students. Calling what I do “homeschool” underplays the hard work of our teachers. https://t.co/jCORPfVD6G

5. Doctor-level respect…
Yup. Being a doctor and teacher should be held in the same high regard.

6. Homeschooling = cocktail training…
My kids are on mandatory homeschool until further notice.
— WTF (@Mhmm_ok_sure) March 18, 2020
Looks like we’re going to have a couple of excellent bartenders when this is all over.
7. Kids…
Overheard my kids talking about how weird their teacher is.
— Jessie (@mommajessiec) March 18, 2020
I’m their teacher.
8. WebMD diagnosis…
I put my symptoms into WebMD and it turns out I’m a substitute teacher with a drinking problem.

9. CEO salary? Sounds good…
My wife is a teacher. Teachers should be paid like CEO’s! Nobody truly knows how hard teachers work until you’ve lived with one. They don’t stop working once the bell rings, they work long into the night & go in on weekends (at least my wife does). We owe them way more $$$

10. Common Core math…
My kids’ math worksheets be like
— Lurkin’ Mom (@LurkAtHomeMom) April 10, 2020
1. 6X4 =
2. Write a 7 page reflection on how you arrived at your answer. Include a works cited page, footnotes, and a pie chart that shows how many tears each of your parents cried during the 11 hours it took you to get through this assignment.
11. We do our best…
Teachers are some of the mentally strongest individuals on earth…
— Leonardo Monroy (@Lbjordan23) March 17, 2020
12. We know the feeling…
Since I get no break from my kids now, it feels like my son has been talking for 8,634 days straight.
— Sarcastic Mommy (@sarcasticmommy4) May 1, 2020
13. Yes, please to everything…
This!!! ?????? pic.twitter.com/LHBIX88yey
— Fixing Education (@FixingEducation) March 30, 2020
14. Desperation setting in…
Exes?! I am thisclose to sending late night I miss you texts to all of my kid’s teachers
— Life at Tiffany’s (@lifeattiffanys) April 28, 2020
15. Sounds about right…
My wife has been screamed at about math and had two bedroom doors slammed on her how’s your online learning experience with the kids going?
— Rodney Lacroix (@RodLacroix) March 26, 2020
16. Hmm, no comment…
My wife is mad because she got an 89 on my daughter’s science quiz.
— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) April 28, 2020
17. Just sayin’…
Has anyone checked in on the parents who created those “life schedules” for their kids in quarantine? You know, the color coded ones?
— Kids_kubed ?? (@Kids_kubed) April 30, 2020
Silence from them lately
18. Hopefully, this kid is still in preschool…
If there are any questions related to Dinosaur Train on the Harvard entrance exam, my kid is gonna crush it. #quarantineparenting
— Tony Pasquale (@TonyBoomPow) April 13, 2020
19. TikToking parents…
I asked my son what he misses most about school and he said my teacher because she doesnt get distracted and start doing tik toks in the middle of our math lesson like you. To my credit, I have officially nailed the why don’t you say so dance.
— suzanne hayes (@shayes613) April 21, 2020
20. Anything for the kids…
Parents: I hate homeschooling
— Ashley Houser (@Seriousmom_shit) April 26, 2020
Teachers: Lets have a virtual spirit week!
21. That’d be nice…
My son is dyslexic and had ADHD. His teachers deserve a starting pay of $100K.
— Jerry (@YamsAndCams) March 16, 2020
22. Fat chance…
Wondering how many moms will continue homeschooling after schools re-open. What’s that? Negative 100%?
— kristabellerina (@kristabellerina) April 14, 2020
23. Hilarious…
My son just sang, “Boat’s n’ Hoe’s” to his elderly choir teacher on zoom so I think that about wraps up homeschool for today.
— Maryfairyboberry (@MaryJustice86) May 6, 2020
24. Heart = melted…
Me: “Is there anything you really miss about school that’s come as a surprise?”
— Phyllis Fagell, LCPC (@Pfagell) May 1, 2020
Student: “Yes. My teachers.”
25. Honest mom math…
Today in homeschool we’re learning about fractions. Sometimes Mommy needs 1/4 vodka and 3/4 soda but when Daddy talks at her a lot she needs 2/4 vodka and 2/4 soda and sometimes it’s just 4/4 vodka who can tell me those fractions in a decimal?
— Vision Bored (@VisionBored1) April 28, 2020
My sons:
26. May the 4th be with you…

27. ❤️
I’ve always thought I had a deep respect for teachers. After watching my wife homeschool our kids I realized it wasn’t deep enough. The amount of patience, persistence, and passion it takes to be an educator is outstanding. Thank you teachers! #TeacherAppreciation pic.twitter.com/B4u4grtKjz

28. And the winner goes to…
It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a liquor store to homeschool one.
— Leslie Brooks (@Leslie_Annie) May 4, 2020
29. And you wonder why they’re off the walls…
If all of your scissors aren’t stuck together from your kids opening up popsicles, did the sun really come out?
— Divergent Mama (@Divergentmama) May 8, 2020
30. We’re all in a league of our own….
There might be no crying in baseball, but there is so much crying in homeschool.
