Lower Teacher Salary Tee (White)

The Lower Teacher Salary tee is Unethical Threads saying the quiet part loud (the wrong quiet part, on purpose). For the people who looked at a teacher's paycheck and thought it was too generous. Dark humor printed on heavyweight cotton.

Who actually wears this?

Teachers, mostly. The same ones grading papers at 11 PM for the salary equivalent of a seasonal barista position.

They've earned the right to be sarcastic about it. If you've ever sat through a school board budget meeting, you already know why this shirt exists.

• Heavyweight cotton that feels like it costs more than a teacher's annual raise
• Unisex relaxed fit from S to 4XL
• Crew neck, classic cut
• DTG printed, so the colors outlast the average school budget cycle
• Preshrunk, because at least something in education shouldn't keep getting smaller

Is this a good gift for a teacher?

Yes. It's the best gift you can give a teacher that isn't a living wage.

Perfect for teacher appreciation week, end-of-year gifts, or just reminding your favorite educator that you see them. Skip the apple mug. Get them something that actually makes them laugh.
