How did it come to this?

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had to say, "Put away your burrito," "That ruler is not a lightsaber," and, "Stop making dog noises" all in the same sentence at work. I teach Advanced Placement Calculus to high school seniors. FML

Give them a break, it's senior year.

Way to F up there OP. People in this type of class SHOULD be creative... and you are trying to shove all of them into straight-jackets, destroy their creative being, and turn them into conformists! If they excel in the course, why do you care? Clearly the entire US public education system is a failure... what the hell is there to lose???

i think adults have done a really good job raising this generation

Sounds like one epic class OP. I probably wouldn't complain, sometimes these types of classes keep you sane, whether you're teaching or learning.

So, your students lives are average, wrong websites OP, you want MLIA.

37- I have a feeling you totally misread the FML. Plus creativity is NOT pretending a ruler is a lightsber. That

Why be a stick in the mud OP? Our AP Calculus teacher calls it "Cowculus" and has the seniors color in a cow the first day.

lol sounds like something my calc teacher would have said to me..... too bad I failed the AP calc exam :/

get over it. thats what u signed up for when u chose to be a teacher!!! what did u expect. seriously dude... come on

Sometimes I feel bad for these teachers my math class was worse. Someone throw a snowball at my math teacher's door and we would scream to the top of our lungs when someone walked in. It was our senior year too we just didn't give a **** :D

37- I have a feeling you miss read this FML! XD

37- actually it's not because 90%of my school has straight A's(it's a public school)

School on a Saturday? I call shenanigans.

No teacher deserves to be treated like that! And no on can expect it

I can almost imagine taking this post in a sexual way. Just read it again.

i know some sophmores in ap calculus, and i could definitely see them getting called out for using their rulers as light sabers.

Hey at least you don't have a dull class!

Hehe. Sounds like fun. Don't be such a kill-joy OP.

We do that too! Like it's a boring class so we need to entertain ourself xD but obviously your a boring teacher op..

my ap calc class now turns to sporcle to solve our boredom

Usually by senior year, your brain resembles something like scrambled eggs.

Hmmm. The force is wrong with this one.

Why is that a Fyourlife? That sounds more like a MLIA type of thing.

I don't see what's wrong here... burritos, lightsabers, and dog noises? sounds like a fun class :)

Killerturtle 11

Exactly what I thought, that class sounds like a lot of fun!

Haha I wish that was my class.... We r dead silent
