Today, in the senior class I teach, I asked my students who had traveled outside of the country, excluding Canada and Mexico. One student raised his hand and proudly stated, "Arizona". He wants to be a doctor. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML
Today, I was giving an anti-drugs speech to a group of ninth graders. I got onto the topic of trafficking from problem countries and asked a student to point out Mexico City on a map. He hesitated a few seconds before pointing at Canada. What the hell has the education system come to? FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to get a blood test and I started crying when I saw the needle. I planned on becoming a doctor. FML
Today, my teacher began to explain Veterans' Day and why it's on 11/11 to a new student from Iran. He said he already knew, but this was news to almost everyone else in the class. FML
Today, my teacher announced that he'd be out for a week because he was going to Vegas. I happily said, "Woo hoo!" Then he finished his sentence by telling me it was because his dad had died. FML
Today, after many hours studying a complete course of Spanish, I felt really good. I had accomplished something, something I could really use next week when I fly to Mexico on vacation. Then I found out what I had learned was Spanish as they speak it in Spain, not how they speak it in Latin America. FML
Today, I had no choice but to bring my son to work as a med school professor. I sat him in a chair in a corner while I gave a lecture. To my surprise, he added another word to his limited vocabulary, and screamed it out loud with an ecstatic expression on his face. The word is "cancer". FML
Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML
Today, my teacher told me that unless I went into medicine, math, or engineering, I would never amount to anything in life. This wasn't even two minutes after I told him I want to be an author. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He could still be a Love Doctor, or I heard drinking Dr. Pepper certifies you as a doctor.

Wow. Glad to see what our future holds. Most teachers do the best they can with what their given. Im sure your good, but kids dont learn anything anymore except to be a sports star/reality star. There is a big difference. Their both over paid. Teachers, fire fighters, police are a few of the most under paid people. My hats off to all the teacher. My step mom is a teacher and I have see the many many hours she puts in on her own time. Not to mention the money bc the schools are under funded

That's no worse than you as a teacher not knowing that punctuation is ALWAYS encompassed by parentheses. ("Arizona.")

Nor is it any worse than your inability to distinguish (parentheses) from "quotes." (By the bye, there are circumstances when punctuation is not enclosed within quotation marks, so the term "ALWAYS" is misleading!)

Aww how sad... I'm from Arizona... we're not as much like another country as some people think. o.e Sure, we've got some illegal immigration problems, but so do other parts of the country. :/
