It's Teacher Appreciation Week, and if physical distancing has taught parents anything, it's to appreciate teachers.
Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley, the comedy duo behind I Mom So Hard, put together a video that's a painfully accurate accounting of why we value the role of teachers now more than ever.
From navigating Zoom classes that start at 8:11 a.m. to harping on our kids' iPad time (by complaining, "don't you feel like you should watch a movie or TV or something?"), they perfectly reveal why most parents aren't cut out for homeschooling.
The best part of the vid? When Kristin drunk-dials her kid's teacher.
"Hi! I just wanted to tell you that I'm really so grateful for everything you've ever done," she says between gulps of wine while hiding out in a closet. "I regret saying or having any thoughts that teachers have a cush job because you guys get the summers off. I've got two students right now, and they're so mean . . . and they're mine. I don't know how you do it. I wanted to put in two weeks on Day 1."
She ends the desperate call with an even more desperate proclamation: "I love you. I, like, really, really love you."
And because we may not have it in us to craft a thank-you card between learning common core maths and pretending to pay attention in conference calls, consider just sending this video to the teachers in your lives. They'll get the message.
