Teachers are a huge part of a child's life. In fact, the words we hear from our teachers can have an impact on us even when we're all grown up. Research shows that positive feedback from teachers results in more engagement from students. And when teachers throw a dash of humor in it – it's even better.
A funny note or a comment on a graded paper humanizes a teacher: even if there are 20+ of you, it's nice knowing that a teacher took their time to notice you. Bored Panda has found the most wholesome and hilarious notes that teachers have written to students and their parents. From ironic clapbacks to harmless dad jokes, these notes might make you wish you had a teacher as cool as this.

Congratulations - wonderful to see you reading the news this week.
Have watched you developing earlier with much interest.
Best wishes for continuing success in the future."
"Demi Cut Her Hair Today. I'm So Sorry"
I once cut off way more than that when I was a kid. That's barely anything. I probably would have covered for Demi. 😁

Or, better idea, don't give him the IPad at all and allow him to experience life outside. Go play, socialize, literally anything. And you'd be giving in to his tantrum if you simply handed over the device.
Teacher's Note For Us Summer School Custodians
Found An Old Note My 5th-Grade Math Teacher Wrote To My Mom
Finally, Cleaning Out Joss's Backpack And Came Across This Note From Her Teacher
We’d emailed beforehand, and she asked for help editing the lesson to be more inclusive, and unbeknownst to me, she offered this reassurance to my kid during a potentially confusing and scary moment. What a gift to have her in our corner last year. Thank you to every adult out there treating kids with this kind of respect and care. You give me hope.
I'm guessing they mean she could go to the lesson for either boys or girls. Which of course is going to trigger a few people.

My art teacher couldn't even art 😭 she would craft monstrosities and hand them to us with a smile. Now, I'm not putting down her artistic values, as as a poor artist myself I understand that it's the thought that counts, but she literally made a lumpy one eyed flesh monster box out of clay and tried to get me to "observe it" 😭 no thanks I'm good
I'm 5 Days Late In Posting This. I Was Packing Up My Books Because I'm Moving Houses, And I Found This Note
It was from my 7th standard English teacher who really encouraged and shaped my love of reading and put up with my general know-it-all-ness in school.
I loved when my teachers would sign my yearbook (I know this isn't a yearbook but the sentiment is similar), though I had to tear out a page after a pick me snuck her way onto a sheet. She called me a "slayful baddie"... page burned.

Found My High School Yearbook. This Was The Note My Economics Teacher Left Me
"You are a fine gentleman and a budding scholar with a good moral compass. Stay on course. In the immortal words of Alfred Tennyson, as quoted in the greatest film of 2014, Interstellar, “Do not go gently into that good night.” Dgent until your heart’s content."
"Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" was written by Dylan Thomas though, not Alfred Tennyson XD
Received This Note From A Teacher: I Remember Those Workshops At School
"Dear Ken,
Many many years ago you did a workshop at Thomas Tallis School.
A group of disenfranchised footballers followed you like the pied piper wanting you to autograph their footballs, for they became the new football.
It was a joyous piece of business that has stayed with me."
It's The Little Things
“Austin, continue your art and writing of stories. Perhaps one day you will have a book published too! I hope you have a fun summer vacation together.”

"Your determination and dedication towards learning are amazing. At this age, with countless distractions one might face, you have managed your priorities very well. You have also been a wonderful sister to your brother and an inspiration to many others.
Be you. Be awesome! Go out and fight for what your heart desires!
All the best for OS! You can do it!"
