TikTok Teachers Are Asking “Which Type of Teacher Are You?” and We Feel a Little Too Seen

These TikToks are like the teacher roasts we never asked for 😂

Three screenshots from TikTok videos about types of teachers

The teacher who swirls then sips her coffee before announcing each spelling word.

The teacher besties who exchange silly faces when they probably shouldn’t.

The teacher who pipes in with, “Just one quick question!” right when the faculty meeting is about to end.

We all know one of these teachers. Heck, we’ve all been one of these teachers.

Lately there’s been a plethora of #teachertype compilation videos on TikTok. Check these out, but don’t say we didn’t warn you when you see yourself looking back at you.
