If you've never watched Abbott Elementary before, you owe yourself a new binge-watch. The acclaimed ABC mockumentary sitcom provides a fictional yet resonant glimpse into the lives and struggles of elementary school teachers as they try to make ends meet and live their own lives while balancing the overwhelming duties of teaching grade school students. But while the series does well to shed light on these stressors, this teacher on TikTok proves that we don't know the half of it.

On TikTok, user @fouronacouch is an actual grade school teacher who isn't afraid to talk about the struggles that she faces at her job. From relatable and humorous voice-over memes to block-of-text TikTok videos where she meticulously analyzes what goes wrong in a single day, she's more than willing to share the problems she faces on a regular basis.
