Today, I ran into my favorite teacher from high school, the one that really inspired me to become one myself. I told her that I'm in my last year of college preparing to become a teacher, to which she replied, "Wow, they really are letting anyone have a crack at being a teacher these days." FML

Same thing different taste

Today, it was the last day of school. My students shared what they thought of me. Expecting to hear wonderful things, all of their complaints can be summed up in a few words: I'm a liar, a killer of dreams, I need to grow up, and I was a big disappointment to them. I'm a first-year teacher. FML

Brief encounter

By *School PTSD Intensifies* - 27/02/2024 23:00 - United States

Today, I, a person who has graduated high school, encountered one of my high school teachers in public. The one known for her rampant ableism against me and tendency to get heated when people don't respond immediately to her when she talks. I've had horrible social anxiety for several years. Do the math. FML

High hopes

Today, I ran into one of my teachers from high school. When I told her I'd just recently graduated college and was starting graduate school in the fall, she said, "You don't have to lie, some people just aren't cut out for college. There's no shame." I wasn't lying, I graduated with honors too. FML

Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML

Optimism

Today, my teacher walked into class and said, "Look to your left and right, one of those persons you just looked at will fail the upcoming exam." When asked why, she said too many people passed last year's exam. She was dead serious. FML

Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML

Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML

Today, I saw my former high school teacher at the mall. After a nice conversation, she mentioned that I "still dress like a slut." FML

Today, I started my new job as a teacher. Worried about how I looked, I asked a coworker if I looked okay. She said, "You look fine. Just like a normal high school kid." I spent the next half hour convincing her that I was not a student, but a teacher. FML

Maybe she should be more grateful that people want to become teachers and help our children instead of being a Bitch about it.

Wow, what a wench. She must be incredibly jaded that she would say that. I hope you told her that now you have an idea of what not to do. Guess she's not your favorite teacher anymore. Good luck, OP.

If she's making rude comments like that to her former students then the comment really suites herself more, don't let it discourage you.

And your response should have been, "No not really. Once I knew that you were a teacher, I realized that if you could do it, then anyone could do it!" -BURN!-

What a bitch. You should have said...well you're a testament to that. Good luck on your pursuits. You'll do great.

Don't worry my favorite high school teacher who inspired didn't like me very much. I won't ever tell her I decided to follow and go into teaching fashion design.

She did a good thing in inspiring you to be a teacher, however obviously people change and I'm sorry to hear that she was one who seems to have become bitter. But hopefully now you're inspired again to be better than that and go be a kick-ass teacher! Good luck OP:)

What a bitch - you should have looked her straight in the face and said, "Yes, they figured since they let you in the only place to go was uphill" and walked away. Good luck in your future
