Parents Stuck Homeschooling Their Kids Are Realizing How Much They Appreciate Teachers

While in school, teachers are responsible for educating kids and managing behaviors, but now parents are included in the mix. In fact, parents not only parenting but they're ALSO becoming like part-time teachers.

Teachers are basking in the glory of having parents understand how their children truly behave on a day-to-day basis. While some kids may be angels at home, in the classroom (and anywhere else for an extended amount of time), they sometimes act like absolute fools.

Now that parents are getting a full, complete, and unfiltered view of their kids and how difficult it can be to teach them, they are showing nothing but appreciation for teachers.

As a teacher myself, we always wished parents had felt this way about us, so it's nice to see them showing some gratitude towards our jobs and professions.

Rhimes admitted that she had been teaching her six-year-old and eight-year-old for a little over an hour and realized that teachers deserve to make WAY more than they already do. I mean, way more.

The actor and rapper said, "Now that all kids are home from school indefinitely... people realize teachers should get waaaaaay more pay." He's not wrong!

Twitter user Amy McGrath tweeted that at the end of her "homeschooling attempt," she realized that teachers are absolute superheroes.

Not just anyone, but she claimed teachers should make more than professional athletes, CEO's, and all of Hollywood combined. I have to say, I don't disagree.

At the end of this pandemic, Rogger has the right advice—double their pay. Teachers need to get at LEAST double.

Twitter user Nicholas Ferroni pointed out that schools are more than just schools. Being a teacher is much more than just educating kids, we nurture them and take care of them as if they are our own.

For many teachers, the mundane "he doesn't act like this at home," excuse is always a frequent one out of parent's mouths. But, now, the tables have officially turned.

Can't lie, when your kids are rude and interrupting you when you're talking, you're going to realize how annoying it truly is. Now, imagine that with 30 other students in the room. We told you so.

Teachers are underpaid and under-appreciated because on a daily basis, we fight the urge to fly off the handle at kids who are nothing but disrespectful. We keep a smile on our face and keep it moving.

At the end of the day, teaching is a profession that requires so much out of us — emotionally, mentally, and physically. Most days, we are disrespected — most days.

At the end of this, parents are going to understand that teaching is not only hard—but complicated. While you try homeschooling your three children, remember, many of us have over 120 students per day.
