January:
Teachers come back to school (virtually or in-person) fired up and ready to implement some great new ideas and strategies as part of their New Year’s resolutions.
Mid-January:
All new ideas flamed out as teachers begin their summer countdown. #YearInPreview

February:
Valentine’s Day parties include students exchanging virtual cards with each other via their virtual Valentine’s Day boxes. Joey’s mom hires a professional web designer so Joey’s virtual box is the best in the class and puts pictures of it on Instagram. #YearInPreview

April:
Test prep is in full swing. Teachers try to prepare students they’ve never actually met, and whom have never participated in online instruction for a test that doesn’t matter. Principal asks if she’s ever contacted the parents to which she replies with a middle finger.

Principal starts recruiting teachers for summer school. Teachers laugh.
The year ends, and the teacher that complained about their kids all year, cries and acts like she’s so sad the school year is over. #YearInPreview

September:
Teachers finally (!) start receiving the vaccine, but without fail, every single building in America has at least one teacher who thinks the vaccine contains a microchip implant designed by Bill Gates. She refuses the vaccine and still refuses to wear a mask.

With more and more students returning to school, teachers begin to tire and start wearing their pajamas every day claiming they’re dressing up for a Halloween related lesson. #YearInPreview

December:
With students expected to fully return after winter break, teachers begin a black market in which they buy and sell their Starbucks gift cards they received as gifts from their students. The caffeine is their only hope. #YearInPreview
