Judging by the picture, it’s a cat.
My cat likes pizza so I'm going to agree.
OP, the correct gender neutral pronoun is "they", even if we talk about one person.
But generally a very solid meme!
this is definitely not oc, dates back to at least aug 2020. this is also showcased by OP calling the teacher “she” while OOP hit em with the ol’ “it”

grammatical animacy (“it” vs “they”) aside, its not as easy to get it/it’s right as some commenters suggest. the authors of the constitution got it wrong too. the error has it’s own few decades of historical precedent. 🙃
No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

Everyone is calling out "it's" but not bough?
I was in the later years of elementary school when the American school system really started to become grossly underfunded.
I repeatedly heard my teacher grumbling about copy paper and lack of supplies. A coupe of times, my teacher complained to ME! Expressing how they were stressed out about not being able to get all the stuff they needed to teach and didn't mean to snap at me like that. O_O
I really felt bad for them, they couldn't do anything to stop it.
Same experience. They're trying to turn education into a pyramid scheme.
I like how the pronoun suggests that the teacher is an actual cat.
We confirmed the lawyer is not a cat, but not the teacher.
Been there. In my secondary school, every week a class was selected for performing well (so good feedback for behaviour and homework sort of stuff) so the class got a tenner I think. So at the end of the year when we won so many times we had about 100 quid so the teacher wanted to see what everybody wanted to do and of course the class said party. So the teacher had to plan out how to spread 100 pound on food for a class of 30 and she used her own money too. My form teacher was a legend.

Our class party's were always "bring a plate" type parties - parents would give the kids a plate of something to contribute
It was the best.
Potluck is always the best way to have a party, everyone contribute something.
I remember doing "stone soup" which was kinda the same thing. There's just one big pot of soup and everyone contributes ingredients to it.
I feel like that could go really great or fucking terribly depending on what kind of friends you have.
"I contributed beef!"
"I contributed potatoes!"
"I contributed a bag of doritos!"
"I contributed this bottle of moose piss!"
You know, duality of man type thing.
"I contributed a bag of quickrete!"
Yeah that wouldn't work here.
Yeah... It was in kindergarten and 1st grade, so it could definitely get weird when it's the kids choosing what goes into the pot.
I'd show up with a bay leaf
"No no, that's good! Everyone give Timmy a hand, he brought something edible this time."

"it's" - nice touch to hint at the underfunded school system
No capital to start the sentence, no period, “bough” instead of bought. Yep.
TBF there’s a whole separate mindset of online communication that seems to demand shitty writing and spelling, like there’s peer pressure to not do it right even if the writer might know better. One would hope in a more formal setting the writer would do better. Maybe.
I never appreciated this as a kid even though there was plenty of pizza to go around for everyone back then. If any teachers are in this thread reading this comment, thank you. Thank you. It does make a difference, even if it's a small gesture.

I did a pizza party for the class that made the most improvement on a benchmark test. Paid ~$100 in my own money, tried to get everyone enough for two slices. It wasn’t the right kind of pizza, they were still hungry, I didn’t get the right soda… fuck me for not dropping that cash on a fat j instead.

why is the meme referring to the teacher as an "it"
To further dehumanize it for not buying enough pizza of course. /s
Everyone's so scared of pronouns now, humans are now referred to as non-sentient objects.

It’s? Do you mean their?
Teachers are subhuman now, didn't you get the memo?

Some teachers deserve all the good in the world.
This feels like it could be a new indicator for the relationship between economy and education... The Pizza Party Slice Index?
Why can't good people who want to do good work get paid for their time?
The super intendant of that school district is probably a millionaire, but doesn't do any of the work.
It seems like only the shitty teachers that hate children are the ones that remain as teachers.
