Some mugs hold coffee. Smug Mugs hold opinions.
A handmade ceramic Teacher Edition Smug Mug for the educators who apparently entered the profession for the enormous salary, international celebrity status and adoring public. Obviously.
Hand-carved with “I became a teacher for the money and fame, obviously!”, this Smug Mug features Whistle & Page’s signature raw clay text panel against a hand-glazed ceramic body. Handmade in Murrumbateman, NSW, it brings a little sarcasm to a profession that somehow requires the patience of a saint, the organisational skills of a military commander and the ability to function on caffeine and determination.
Because nobody becomes a teacher because they heard there was loads of money and fame involved.
They become teachers because they care about children, love learning, want to make a difference and apparently enjoy being asked “Are we doing anything today?” approximately four minutes after explaining exactly what you are doing today.
This is for the teacher who can laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. The one who spends their days teaching, planning, marking, organising, encouraging, problem-solving, mediating and somehow knowing whose water bottle belongs to whom.
The fame may be questionable. The salary may inspire some creative accounting. But the impact? Absolutely priceless.
Approx. 360ml
Approx. 9.0cm (H) × 9.0cm (W)
