The mission of Bored Teachers is to \"provide educators everywhere with a portal to share laughter, release stress, and empower/celebrate all who dedicate their lives to shape the young minds of our future leaders,\" according to manager James Tarantino.

\"A lot of parents complain about the number of supplies they have to buy for their own child each year, but teachers end up reaching into their own pockets when those supplies run out and for kids with families who can't afford it,\" Tarantino told \"Good Morning America.\"

Teachers everywhere are \"grateful,\" he said. \"They have enough on their plates, the least we can do is to help make sure they have the supplies they need to make it through the school year.\"
