Today, I was telling my students that it's unnecessary to put arrows on the bottom of the page to tell me there's work on the back, I check it anyway. At the end of the day, at least 6 kids came up to me asking to change their grade because I forgot to grade the back. They hadn't put arrows. FML

Today, I had to re-grade a student's assignments because neither he, nor his parents can read "Spanish." I'd written in cursive. FML

Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML

Today, one of my fourth-graders came up to me and asked, "Can you please not put my test grades in the weekly folders? My mom likes to get mad when I get below a 90." FML

Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML

Today, I got a history project back that I worked very hard on. The teacher didn't bother to write any feedback, besides, "Did you even understand the assignment?" on the back. FML

Today, while correcting essays, I spilled ketchup on a student's paper. I managed to successfully turn it into a happy smiley face but when proudly looking at the result, noticed it was right next to the big "F" that I had graded it. FML

Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML

Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML

Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML

What kind of teacher doesn't check the back of a paper? I remember when we were suppose to write a page long essay on a book and I only did a small paragraph and my teacher instinctively flipped the paper over to see if there was work on the back.

That's so dumb. They could hv added stuff after the initial grading and get u to regrade the paper. Major fail!

This is why i hate most teachers. The lot of you don't know your assholes from your mouths so all you do is say a bunch of shit! It may be a mistake but you guys always get on students for being wrong when you do the same thing.

Well... It's a teacher's job to point out your mistakes.. Don't like it? Drop out, become a tight-rope walker, and let your first mistake on the job be your last of your life. People on here really seem to hate teachers.. Geez =/

You should change your attitude and accept that people make mistakes instead of placing them on a pedestal only to tear them down when they don't match your expectations of perfection. Or you can drop out and flip burgers for the remaining years of your life.
