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.

    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.

    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.

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

    "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" is a poem by Dylan Thomas. One of my absolute favorites: "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near d***h, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." (edited to add second set of quotation marks)
