why do teachers always have to prepare for stuff in advance, but the coffee machine in the break room is somehow always broken when we need

Seriously, the coffee machine is always broken when you need it most. Teachers have to plan ahead to stay on top of everything, but the small stuff like a working coffee maker

girl, that's just karma for making us do math problems in our heads

That's strange, because it seems to me that the coffee machine is a priority for the admin people, and the material for lessons is a priority for the teachers...

teachers have to plan in advance because they're responsible for a classroom full of students.

who's responsible for maintaining that thing anyway?

um, why do ya expect anyone to fix hte coffee machine when the school budget can barely cover

are you kidding me? teachers are literally expected to plan out an entire lesson on the fly if the copier jams, but the admin can take a week to fix a coffee machine lol nice

are you kidding me? teachers have to prepare for crap because we have to educate your kids. Not just themselves.

um, because there's like a actual prep work involved in lesson planning, not just slamming a coffee filter in a machine

Priorities are clearly in the wrong hands.

why do we always have to be ready for everything but the bare minimum for us is always neglected? whats up with that?

ugh, right? and can we also talk about the microwave that smells like last week's leftovers?

i totally get that, it's like the adults can't be bothered to fix one simple thing but we're

idk why you're acting like teachers are the ones breaking the coffee machine, maybe check your priorities, ain't no one

um seriously tho who's job is it to break the coffee machine on purpose, it's not like its gonna

Maybe the coffee machine is broken because the teachers keep trying to fix it without reading the instructions first. Just a wild guess!

omg so true, and can we also talk about how the copier always magically works again the second the principal walks in

lmao you right. its like they can predict when the end of the world is coming but not when the coffee machine is gonna

the coffee machine is secretly the one running the staff meetings.

lmao right?! the school budget can buy 50 smartboards but can't fix the damn coffee maker.

Couldn't agree more. And it's not just the coffee machine, it's the copier, the AV equipment...

bc the coffee machine is in cahoots with the teachers, duh. they're all in on it.

dude, the coffee machine isn't somehow broken, it's probably just not a priority for the school to fix it when they're

same lol and can we also talk about how the wifi is always slow but the admin's fancy new printers always seem to work just fine

Not true, ours is always stocked and working, maybe it's a your school thing.

lol maybe the coffee machine is just protesting the grading load

teachers have to prepare in advance because they're responsible for a whole class of students. Not just themselves.

are they prioritizing fixing the copier over the coffee machine or smth?

because the coffee machine is run by the same people who plan the curriculum.

um can we prioritize the one thing that actually affects our lives in the break room over the 2 minute prep for a lesson on tuesday?

same, i swear if i have to make small talk w/ the copier again today to find out if it's still breaking down i'm gonna

it's clear the coffee machine is run by a 5th grader with a laissez faire attitude towards

i guess that's what we get for trying to energize ourselves on school budget

teachers are trying to educate a room full of kids, not fix the break room coffee machine. separate priorities.

for real, they can plan lessons months ahead but cant keep a damn coffee machine working. unreal

what are you on about? teachers have to plan ahead because they have a million kids to wrangle.

cause they have 30 kids to manage and can't just wing it, karen. maybe if you actually gave a shit about your job instead of bitching about

because the coffee machine is clearly skipping all the homework assignments

true, and the printer is always out of ink when you need it most! 🤦‍♀️

lol bro the coffee machine is always broken cause the teachers are too busy making lesson plans to

fr tho, what kind of bs is that? like how hard is it to keep a damn coffee machine working? smh

teachers can't even keep the coffee machine in order, how do they expect us to do our homework on

right? like, i get that they need to plan lessons and all that, but how hard is it to make sure teh

the teachers planned ahead too, and their caffeine habit is just a backup plan

for real, why is the coffee always broken but they expect us to have everything perfect weeks in advance?

guess the coffee machine's lesson plan just got canceled

_teacher problems are brewed fresh daily, apparently

um what's the expectation here? the coffee machine is literally not a priority for the school.

because teachers have to. You know, teach. the coffee machine is just there to be annoying and like you.

SAME. like, it's not that hard to get a new coffee machine or have a backup, but nope, the teachers

Have you considered that the school might actually prioritize spending its limited budget on, I don't know, books and salaries over a new coffee machine?

fr tho, like how hard is it to keep that thing working??

because the coffee machine is unionized and has a 6 month minimum advanced notice policy. gotta respect the hustle.

who cares about a broken coffee machine when you're getting paid to, like, teach and stuff?

same with the copy machine, its like our priorities are super messed up

um hello are you kidding me it's called coming to work early before everyone else and for some

uh have you met any teachers who don't stress about being prepared?

tbh it's just more important for teachers to have a perfectly planned lesson than for humans to

why is the coffee machine always broken but they expect us to have everything ready days in advance? like wtf, priorities much?

Actually, the coffee machine is usually just fine, maybe you're just running a little late and it's still warming up.

teachers have to prepare because their job is to teach, not fix the coffee machine.

yeah cuz prioritizing our caffeine dependencies over actually educating humans is literally the goal

are you kidding me? coffee machine breaks, it gets fixed. teachers not being prepared is a whole different story, dont

fr, what's up with that? like how hard is it to keep a damn coffee machine working?

teachers have a lot to do. And preparing in advance is part of their job. if the coffee machine is broken, just go to a coffee shop instead of complaining about it.

so true, it's like school admins care way more about our lesson plans than our caffeine levels

i guess the coffee machine is just having an existential crisis about being late to class

because the teaching staff is just better at planning ahead than the coffee staff are at doing their actual job

Seriously, the coffee situation is such a frustration! And you're right, it's wild how much teachers have to plan ahead but basic amenities are always an issue.

fr tho, what's the deal with that? like how hard is it to keep a coffee machine running in the

idk maybe they're all just secretly trying to get you guys to teach them about what a functioning coffeemaker looks like

the coffee machine is broken cause the teachers used it to power their time machine so they can

Right?! Teachers have to be so on top of everything, but the simple things like a working coffee machine are always an issue.

why do they care so much about us being prepared, but can't even keep a damn coffee machine working?

Agreed, and can we also talk about why the copier is always out of toner on a Friday afternoon?

did they plan ahead and schedule a maintenance call or just wing it

fr tho why is the coffee machine always fucked when we need it most?

damn, teachers work hard and have a lot of shit to do. they need to prep in advance to be ready.

um, maybe because the admin prioritizes buying new pencil sharpeners over a decent coffee machine?

the coffee machine is in cahoots with the teachers, clearly.

Couldn't agree more! It's like teachers are held to an impossibly high standard of planning, but other supposedly "important" things in the building get neglected until it's an

actually, that's a false equivalency - prep work is non-negotiable for lesson planning and education, a functioning coffee machine is a nice-to-have, not a necessity

lol do you really think the coffee machine getting 'broken' at the worst times is just a coincidence tho

that's a ridiculous comparison. teachers have to plan lessons and organize their classrooms to educate students. It's not the same as a coffee machine.

right?? like we're expected to have our lesson plans dialed in weeks in advance, but the school

Are you really blaming the teachers for being prepared or is the real question why the break room isn't getting regular maintenance?

same energy in my apartment, btw, landlord takes forever to fix the damn elevator

same exact thing here, except our principal is always on about being proactive and prepared, but the copier's been on

You can't compare lesson planning to fixing a coffee machine. Two completely different tasks with two different sets of responsibilities.

how come the admins always seem to have a fresh cup tho

fr tho, like why can't they get their shit together and make sure the coffee machine is actually

are teachers expected to be coffee magicians now too?

the coffee machine is broken bc the teachers used all the power outlets to charge their lesson plans

yaaas and don't even get me started on the microwave taking 5 yrs to heat up a freaking lunch, what's up with that

are you literally asking why teachers prioritize planning over fixing a break room machine?
