Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML

Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML

Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML

Today, I had to do community service work, so I helped out at a senior center. One of the confused elderly patients, who believed the Cold War was still on, thought I was a Soviet and started screaming about how I was going to nuke his country. FML

Today, I was called to solve a problem question at the start of a lecture. I stupidly went up to the board before telling the lecturer in front of 300+ students that I had no Idea what he had been doing the whole week. The lecturer made a sneery comment about why some of us are blockheads. FML

Was HE not a he? Anyway, maybe they wanted you to call him "it" because I guess he was sort of a monster in a sense. I don't know, that's just dumb. The man was a he regardless of anything wtf?

I think the confusion was coming from the whole gender identity thing that has been present in social media these past couple of years really prevalently. However, your class is ridiculous and foolish, he's a dead world leader of course he classified as a "he", he had a wife, maybe even wives and was a very 'macho' "he" ???

Looks like your teacher is from USSR and totally devoted to Stalin, this is the only way I can explain this happened to you :D

In today's society, calling God "He" would get some of those responses, but a person? I feel like there's more to this story.

This feels like one of those "so overtly bizarre that there is probably omitted crucial context" situations.

Sadley, I must repeat a common phrase. "Those who can do. Those who can't, teach. The youth are in trouble, but its because teachers fresh out of college don't know better.

That phrase is so ******* terrible and is the reason that teachers burnout. They have no support and have to put with abusive parents and students all for the general public to get upset at the teachers for a system they didn't invent (the US education system specifically).
