I think I've seen this same "meme" reposted several hundred times. On top of this a meme is supposed to incite laughter. I'm failing to see what's comedic about this? Should be more creative.

ive downloaded this meme like 5 years ago wow
In my country they are not underpaid but overpaid. Govt just pay them for sitting in class and eating in canting(More than Avg Income)
Why Everyone downvoting me because I said truth. Govt pay them for nothing literally every one in my class come to school for attendance
I think the "underpaid teacher" thing isn't necessarily rooted in reality,. especially outside of the US. My wife is a teacher in the UK, and she's a head of her subject. For many years her pay was similar to mine as a software engineer, but everyone often treated her as if she was poor and that I was rich.
I just looked for secondary school teacher jobs in Manchester and they start at $30k for some. Many had day rates. Less than a labourer would get.
To be fair, outside of London you'll find that the starting salary for many degree-level jobs is around that, including jobs like software developer. I'm in Bristol, and the pay disparity is hilariously bad - a senior designer will earn less than a manager at Burger King...

Education is investment in our species future... teachers aren't billionaires, they're not overpaid.
