Today, I discovered that when my professor had said "For every A there will be an F," he was deadly serious. I earned a 94% mark, which in this class is known as a D. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I finally found out why I got a D in a class last semester. It was a heavily attendance-based class, and apparently he only marked you present if you participated in class discussion. It was a 100-seat lecture. FML
Today, my English professor bragged to my entire class about how good my essay was. He kept on saying great things about it for the duration of class. To my surprise, he'd given me a C-. When I asked why, his only response was: "I'm a hard grader." FML
Today, the grades for one of my courses were released. The class average was higher than that which the department allowed, so the professor had to scale everyone's marks down to meet the policy. I ended up failing because my class was too smart. FML
Today, my professor handed me back a paper I spent hours hours working on. At the bottom in red it said "D" followed by, "That was a gift." FML
Today, I got a writing assignment back. After meeting with my professor specially after class and meticulously combing through every word of that paper, I got a low D. Turns out, he graded me down on every suggestion of his that I took. 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 got the best grade in class on my economics midterm. Rather than tell me I did a good job, my professor criticized me in front of everyone about how I was working "too hard". 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, I found out I got a 97 on my physics final exam. I was curious about the question I missed, so I went up to my teacher and asked. He was very confused and checked my grade again before telling me, "Oh my bad, it was meant to be a 79." FML
Today, I went to get my midterm essay grade thinking I couldn't have made lower than a B. Got to class and my douchebag professor gave me an F. He wrote "Best essay I read, would've been an A if it was the right topic." I wrote on the Industrial Revolution, instead of the Scientific Revolution. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So does that mean "F's" are good in your class? Cause in that case soooo many people would get "A's" on their report cards!

Actually, curving grades is one way to fight grade inflation. Although I'm really surprised any school in the US cares about that.

I love how you're being condescending to a person who got a 94% for the class. Maybe you'll reconsider your superiority complex when you get fired with little mouths to feed and a mortgage to pay. That's usually how life deals with assholes like you. Besides, grades don't always determine a person's success in life. Many entrepreneurs are actually dyslexic and plenty of people didn't do well academically only to find that they excel massively in the "real world."

In Norway we use grades 1 - 6 where 6 is top and 1 is fail, we use this grade system from primary school to high school. im on a stable 4 (now in high school). the most annoying thing about school is when someone complains about grades higher then 4, (mostly girls) when i hear that i put on a smile, stare in the air and thinks "the f is your problem." the worst part of what the girls do is that they are going to educate themshelf to work at old homes... Norway. (I am going to work as a concrete aprentice and pull in roughly 40-30 usd an hour. after that it will doubble - 40 % tax. my future life story) im 17 yr old and sorry for any bad english
