20 of the Funniest Teacher Yearbook Photos

20 of the Funniest Teacher Yearbook Photos

By:

‘Tis the season to put kids and their teachers in front of those Lifetouch cameras and make them uncomfortable. What is it about those school and yearbook photos that make an average or even attractive-looking person look so bad? In the age of AI and incredible photo retouching, it’s like they have a program set up to enhance your flaws, blow up your pimples, make you look even more tired, and just lower your self-esteem in general.

I always hoped for an administration cool enough to allow the teachers to do something silly in their photos. After all, it’s just a K-12 school—it’s not Harvard! I was never that lucky. In fact, I distinctly remember a colleague getting called to the principal’s office and being torn to shreds for making a silly face in his yearbook photo. Some people just don’t know how to have fun! But the teachers and administrators in the following photos definitely do not take themselves that seriously! Enjoy!

Jane Morris

Jane Morris is the pen name of an ex-teacher who would really like to tell you more about herself but is worried awful administrators will come after her for spilling their dirty little secrets. Jane has taught English for over 15 years in a major American city. She received her B.A. in English and Secondary Education from a well-known university and her M.A. in Writing and Literature from an even fancier (and more expensive) university. As a professional queen of commiseration turned published author, Jane’s foremost passion in life is to make people laugh through the tears.

She has written several highly acclaimed books unpacking the reality of teaching and life inside the school system. You can view her full library of works here.
