Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks of the new school year. I got grilled in my first lesson by my teacher for "gallivanting around on holiday in some sunny place" when I should've been at school learning. My dad had died from liver cancer. FML

Today, at school, some kid I’ve never liked came up to me and said, to my face, "I’m really happy to hear about your mom." She died two weeks ago. FML

Today, my English teacher asked me why I didn't have my project completed. Thinking quick on my feet, I told her it was because my grandmother had just passed away. Apparently they go to the same country club and have known each other for years. My teacher started crying and ran out of the room. FML

Today, I saw my teacher using her phone in the middle of class, so to joke around with her, seeing as we're on pretty good terms, I said: "Using your phone in class? For shame." She looks me in the eyes and says, "Would it be ok if I told you I'm arranging my father's funeral?" FML

Today, a parent came into my class and told one of my 6 year-old students that their grandma died. Then the parent left. The kid started crying from the news, which then got all the other students crying. I spent the rest of the day comforting a class of kids crying over someone else's grandma. FML

Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." 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 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

You know, I would not at all be surprised if the kid had been cheating, and lucked out that the accusation was too specific.

Why would you even call such accusations? Because they did good? Perhaps they're just smart enough to do really well in school...

Jackass... you basically insulted him! You thought he wasn't smart enough to do it his self! That's ****** up.. You're supposed to have faith in your students, be proud of their accomplishments. Not ruin their confidence by thinking they are dumb. Once again.... Jackass.

Maybe next time blame the Internet instead of the deceased? BTW if I was this kids mom I would have your job for harassment.

Regardless of the parental status, this was not an appropriate thing to say to a student. You can accuse them of plagiarism or cheating (if you believe it actually occurred), sure, but unless you KNOW the source of said misdeed, you haven't any right to name one.
