40 Times Teachers Had The Best Sense Of Humor And The Biggest Hearts And Crafted These Cute Notes

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.

Many many years ago you did a workshop at Thomas Tallis School.

It was a joyous piece of business that has stayed with me."
