Worked for a school and it is like that. The support staff gets paid even less as well.

How does one bough a pizza?
Couchwarrior1337
Still wish I could slap younger me for complaining about the homemade cookies our group had because the group next to us bought pizza.

I love how the second half simultaneously calls the teacher an "it" and uses the wrong form of "its". Triple insult FTW.

"Its" own money? Come on, man...

This post makes me sad. At my kids school, the teachers just send an email to parents, and there will have to be extra tables brought in for all the food. The last "pizza party" in my daughter's class had enough for every kid to get all the pizza they wanted, plus nugs and fries from Chick Fil A, a taco bar, chips, cookies, cupcakes, brownies. The teacher didn't have to spend any money.

"it's"?

Yup, if i've learned nothing else as i've gotten older, it's that if someone does something just to be nice, appreciate it. No matter how small it may appear to you, it might have been a big effort on their part and gracious gratitude can mean the world to them..

Guessing they were trying to be gender neutral and forgot “their” was a word

I can't remember my teachers doing any sort of party or the like where we got actual food throughout my entire school career unless we were the ones bringing food, from preschool all the way into college, either I or my parents had to pay for the food I got. A couple of teachers might give out some lemon drops or other similar hard candies during halloween but beyond that any holidays were just that sour tasting crinkled paper taped up as decorations and a few thematic decorations and some >

the pizza bought itself with its own money

Usually the problem exists that the teachers never -want- to tell the students that they're supplying their class with stuff from their own pocket. IME any teacher that talked about a pizza party always made it seem like the school was buying. Kids won't realize yet that teachers are being underfunded and abused.
ryry1237
I wonder if it would make more sense for the teacher to host a potluck instead where each kid's parent brings in some cooked dish to share. Greater food diversity and more student involvement too.

I heard a story once about a teacher who had a swear jar, and the more the kids swore through the year, the better the pizza party at the end of the year was. Eventually the kids figured this out and the teacher had to stop.

The underpaid teacher bought the pizza with the pizza's own money.

Hurray for teachers. Just saints, even the ill tempered ones.

There are some sites out there that can help you find teachers in need https://www.donorschoose.org/

Maybe if the kids knew that it came directly out of the teacher's pocket, they would act differently. I don't know if my own teacher paid for a small pizza party at the end of the year, but we were still grateful to her specifically. Because, even if she didn't pay it out of her own funds, it was widely accepted that the school administrators were complete assholes. Proto-Karens with power over children. I saw some nasty fights; kids get treated badly no matter what, nothing to lose.
CandleToad
Already that "its" would have been bad enough, but "it's"? Fucking really?!

5th grade, teachers husband was going in for heart surgery so the class made cards for him. He was touched and told our teacher when he got out he wanted to give us an ice cream party. He died during surgery and even though she was grieving she did the party cause he wanted us to have it.
ReverseSyzygy
before seeing whole mem, was about to say "PAID FOR BY THAT SAME TEACHER" but ok, glad I didn't have to?

30 kids to a class, two slices each equals 60 slices. 8 slices per pizza That's 8 pizzas (64 slices). Costco is $10 per pizza so $80 before even thinking about drinks.
Voidheart80
Formula is based off class size Wikipedia
Voidheart80
1. Number of Students (N) = 23
2. Number of Slices Needed = 2 * N = 2 * 23 = 46 Slices
3. Number of Pizzas Needed = Slices Needed / Slices per Pizza = 46 / 8 ≈ 6 Pizzas
4. Cost per 14" 1-Topping Pizza (C) = $9.99
5. Cost of Pizzas in the 1990s = (Number of Pizzas * C) + (Number of Pizzas * $1) = (6 * $9.99) + (6 * $1) = $65.94
NWanonymommy
Ok but you can't address the terrible English??
Voidheart80
Doesn't really matter. The misspellings and bad grammar in the meme's description symbolize the students' challenging workload, which is a consequence of their underfunded education. So, it's paradoxical because the initial enthusiasm conflicts with the reality of both the small pizza and the students' struggles due to budget limitations.
This meme was for my own entertainment. Not everyone will get it, not here for likes. Also are you familiar with steganography?

my wife has a rule. the classes that bitch about the treats brought in no longer get any. She then makes this known when they complain other classes get things.
BossVarriack
I get it completely, but I swear this bit me in the rear all through school because of jerks in my class screwing the rest of us over even though we were all grateful and happy to have it... though comically it caused one student to make a protest sign and stand in front of the school demanding higher wages for teachers because he wanted more pizza

she's gone back on it when classes are apologetic, but nothing quite like having trade school kids completely shit on your homemade muffins in colorful detail. She's an excellent baker, so taking those where they are appreciated.

My high school end of senior class party she bought like 7 pizza boxes, the best part was there was only like 6 students left in the class so after I walked home with a free full extra pizza, I walked out the back way through agriculture so kids wouldnt mob me and my glorious pizza.
IllBeOverAt5
Yikes. Only 6 kids left? How many did you start with?
JoeyJoJoJrShabadoo7
There was about 8 haha Im in Australia but its not like a small town or anything like that. I think senior classes needed at least 5 people to get a class, this was a Modern History class, we learnt that JFK assassination was a conspiracy which is weird looking back on.

Perfect gender neutral pronoun, if people would get over the "offense" 🤷🏽

would you legititimately like to be referred to as it? a little weird imo

I think it was a well-intentioned effort to use gender-neutral language, but... Yeah.

Yes, and everyone here knows that, thus the entire discussion surrounding why someone would refer to a teacher as an 'it'. Thank you for your contribution to the conversation.
