How teachers feel when they see their students on reality TV.

teacher ashamed his kids aren't successfulReality stars disappoint

I know, right? (shades of the terrible Bachelorette, Emily Maynard, who said this until your ears bled. And she was a reality TV star!)

It’s true, the contestants on reality television don’t seem all that bright much of the time.

Wait a minute. I actually write and tweet about these reality shows, so what does that make ME feel like?! Not surprising: many are just young and stupid.

Teachers have feelings, too

But this poor teacher or professor, taking it personally! Don’t worry, you don’t have to graduate to be on TV, especially when they’re unscripted. Reality TV shows have beauty pageant contestants – who needs education? Their lives are laid out: reality show > Instagram influencer and  > podcaster.

Here’s how to buy this or any  teacher cartoon about Television for powerpoint, textbooks, newsletters, blogs, Chicken Soup books, etc. My TV Cartoons have been published in a variety of venues, including syndication. I also review TV shows here.
