Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my math TA showed the class how one of her "dumb" students answered a test question. Everyone laughed as she wrote out the students answer, including myself, until I looked down at my answer sheet and saw that I submitted an identical answer. FML
Today, I realized that my Twitter profile was very public when my business professor made fun of student tweets in class. My tweet went, "Totally bullshitting this business report" about the report I'd just handed in, worth a large portion of my grade. FML
Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML
Today, I got a question wrong on an exam. The question started with, "In your opinion..." FML
Today, I finally realized how stupid I am, when I answered a question correctly in class and my teacher started clapping and cheering. FML
Today, after finishing a two hour essay exam that will determine the future of my career, I realized I misread the question. 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, I worked up the courage to ask a question in a packed lecture hall. The professor repeated my question, except he'd misheard me and rephrased it into something wildly incorrect. The class laughed. Instead of correcting him, I nodded. Now half the class thinks I don’t understand the difference between correlation and causation. 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, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least he didn't name you specifically.

That's not right, he shouldn't post that kind of stuff about his students online.

Hey guys, this FmyLife was mine. I'm in law school and my professor wrote: Discovered while marking - an overly frank student response: "Answering this question is outside of my capabilities." It was part of my answer just taken way out of context lol. I wasn't offended and found it funny:P,

I don't think it's unprofessional many teachers post what kids say. Because op is older does that change perspective than the teachers who have viral pictures of children's work? Try talking to the teacher prior to reporting and get his side like a mature adult would do. It does suck that you were the person who got quoted out of everyone however so FYL.

So because multiple people do it that makes it okay?

That not right the school shouldn't allow that. That abuse at some school I know about.

Complain to the dean about how unprofessional he is. Quote the tweet, show a picture. And tell him that you felt violated emotionally. At the very least he'll get a hell of a talking to. Because that is unprofessional. You're a teacher. Act like you give a shit. It's social media.. The internet. Everybody can see it. Your professor is the real idiot.

This was my FML. I'm in my first year of law school and my professor wrote this on his twitter: Discovered while marking - an overly frank student response: "Answering this question is outside of my capabilities." I was trying to answer a specific legal question needed to answer the larger question at hand. I finished the class with a decent grade and I thought it was funny:P. But my face went white b/c our exams are worth 100%.
