Today, I asked my students to buy a copy of Anne Frank's diary for an assignment. One of them asked me in all seriousness who wrote it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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, my students all handed in their 1,000 word papers. The assignment was for them to write about a strong, benevolent leader who influenced the world. Around half of the papers were about Hitler. FML
Today, I got an A+ on a writing assignment. My teacher asked me three times if I really did write this article myself, and didn't memorise an article from the Internet. FML
Today, I finished my position paper for my social studies class and read it to my mom to get her opinion on it. After I'm done reading it, she asks me if I copied it from somewhere because it sounded very professional and smart, and it didn't sound like me. FML
Today, I asked my friend to hand in my homework for me since I have tonsillitis. She thought it would be funny to draw a big heart on it with my teacher's name inside, which she then handed in. FML
Today, I turned in an essay about a book I'd read over the summer. My teacher later called me to her desk and began to gush about how interesting the book sounded and asked to borrow my copy. The book I wrote about isn't real, and the main characters are named after my childhood pets. FML
Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML
Today, I was reading my students' Halloween stories I made them write for my creative writing class in high school. One of my students wrote about attacking me. She got my street address perfect and everything. FML
Today, we were taking a bio quiz and I understood the subject, so the people sitting behind me asked me to help them out. Being a kind fellow classmate, I did. When the teacher got suspicious, she asked the class, "How are all of you getting the same answers?" everyone pointed directly at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When we were learning about Anne Frank in the 8th grade kids were asking the same things like "oh who's it by" "what's the holocaust" "is this a true story". Meanwhile I'm sitting there looking like the surprised Patrick from my profile picture, because I read the Anne Frank diary in like the third grade. I just assumed everyone knew her and her story but I guess not.

When that whole Justin Bieber visiting Anne Frank's House thing happened, I read about Bieber fans who thought dumb things like she was some girl he dated and stuff. So very sad! (No, I am definitely not a Bieber fan; I saw the story about him going there and the comment he made on the news!)

Your fault for not being a better teacher.

You speak the truth yet people thumb you down. Pathetic. If he was a good teacher he Would not have talked behind his students backs. He would have actually taught them something.

And that's when you know your failing as a teacher

Trying to see it from a student's point of view who doesn't know anything about it yet- Maybe they thought it was a biography written by someone else or if they haven't learned about Anne Frank they may not have known it was literally her diary. I've read books about Anne Frank that weren't written by Anne Frank and a lot of them referenced Anne Frank's Diary in the title and then added a word or two to it.
