Halloween red flag

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my teacher read my story about a haunted house for a class assignment. She liked it very much and turned it in to the office to be sent into a state writing competition. An hour later, I was called to the office where the guidance counselor called my work "disturbing" and said I "need help". FML
Today, one of my classmates got bullied and the whole class got to wrote 2000 words about that. FML
Today, a classmate at college accused me of stalking her. All because I walked past her house. I was walking to the supermarket. FML
Today, I had to make up a story about my "friends" at school so my mom doesn't keep telling I'm a loser. FML
Today, a kid came Trick-or-Treating at my house. When I told her it was still one more day until Halloween, and that I didn't have any candy, she wound-up her fist, punched me in the groin, and ran off laughing. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I forbade a student in the writing seminar I instructed from continuing to present his disturbing poems about demons. He responded to this by convincing nearly every other student in the seminar to write and read out loud several of his poems. 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, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

As long as she doesnt do anything then it should be fine. Was the story good at least?

You sound scared... methinks the girl did a good job on writing a horrorstory. (Note: your address is probably in the school-information-guide or on the website; it's not exactly hard to come by)

Zero tolerance is such a bad way to conduct power around schools. When I was in high school, they used that policy, and every single time someone reported that I was selling dope, I'd get searched. I've never touched any drug (controlled substance) in my life. Example of how the zero tolerance policy only works when the people utilizing aren't complete idiots.

Um, selling "dope" is a really serious offense. Whether you were actually selling it or not, they had every right to question or search you if they thought that was going on in their school.

I thought this same thing, then thought to myself that it was probably a typo. Then I realized that writing teachers should also know to proofread anything before it is submitted... So, I agree completely with this statement.

Hmmm... she is literally threatened in writing by a student deranged enough to not realize she would get in SERIOUS trouble for writing a story where she attacks her teacher by name... and YOU think she deserves it because she missed an apostrophe in writing her FML? What a totally dumb thing to say. Hope no one accidentally kills you for being so understanding. Then I'd have to say YDI to YOU.

Selling "dope" is a really serious offense. Whether you were actually selling it or not, they had every right to question or search you. That kind of crap is a level four offense and is up for an immediate expulsion hearing in most states.

now see you could have asked for their reasons before they searched you, and declined search without a warrant, i believe...

One would think a writing teacher would know the plural possessive of student is students'. It's no wonder our country's students compete so poorly on a global level with educators like you paving their way. YDI.

one would think that an internet user knows how not to double post, or that people dont like to bring their work home with them. you dont see surgeons carving open people after work, so why should teachers bother with proper grammar?

Actually physicians bring a lot of work home with them. Maybe not in the form of surgeries, but they're still reading relevant articles and probably doing billing or something. The only reason they don't bring more home is because surgeons work 60-80 hours per week. But the real reason I commented was to point out that everyone should bother with proper grammar every minute of every day. If you're an english teacher, you should understand the importance of writing something that can be easily understood by your audience, most of whom are reading far below grade-level these days. The American education system is terrible and public schools just keep passing kids through.

You do know that "English" is meant to be capitalized, right?

Quit getting your panties in a bunch over something so trivial. Grammar natzis are annoying. Its not like the lacking apostrophe made it unreadable.

So, in the story, does she give you a chance to put on a condom or does she ride you bareback? I love being attacked by girls.

OMG do people not relize that she got his street right? That's just freaky! I'm sure that the OP wouldn't be as freaked out if his student wasn't that accurate. I would definatley show this to a psycologist, you can never be too safe!

yes, you can be "too safe". any mortal power that can keep you absolutely safe can lock you in a box. I'd probably pass it on to the school psychologist for an evaluation. and grade the paper 'S' for 'stalker'.

Well it was a Halloween story so it was supposed to be scary. Since youre creeped out by the student's assignment, that means he/she deserves an A . anyways, the student can easily find your name thru the phonebook if listed or zabasearch.com.
