Expressing gratitude to your teaching assistant through thank-you notes has many benefits. It boosts their morale, strengthens your working relationship, and fosters a positive classroom environment.

Specific and sincere appreciation, no matter the size, shows that their contributions are valued. Letting them know their hard work is recognized is one of the best ways to acknowledge their role in shaping young minds.

According to a study by the National Education Association, teachers work an average of 53 hours per week, with 12 of those hours devoted to non-compensated school-related activities such as grading papers, bus duty, and club advising. 

Despite this heavy workload, a Gallup poll found that teachers rank among the most trusted professionals, with 84% of Americans rating the honesty and ethics of teachers as “high” or “very high”. This trust is well-placed, as teachers play a crucial role in shaping young minds and preparing the next generation for success. 

So what better way to show appreciation for these dedicated educators than with some good-natured roasts that celebrate their quirks and eccentricities while acknowledging their immense impact? Here’s a collection of heartwarming and hilarious roasts for various types of awesome teachers.
