Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher; I've already given students detention for falling asleep in class this year. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher. FML
Today, I fell asleep during naptime. I'm the teacher. FML
Today, I fell asleep in class. Usually, people just sit still when asleep. Nope, not me. Not only had I been violently rocking and nodding my head, the teacher stopped class for everyone to see for 5 minutes as she made jokes. What woke me? The intense laughter, followed by embarrassment. FML
Today, I fell asleep in the school bus on the way back home when my loud fart woke me and a few other kids up. I am a teacher. FML
Today, I fell asleep in my last period class. When I woke up my teacher said "you missed your bus". I grabbed all my stuff and ran out the room. My class mates were standing outside the class laughing. We still had an hour left in class. FML
Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them". FML
Today, I fell asleep in class. As a joke, my professor used an airhorn to wake me up. I got so freaked out that I punched the girl next to me in the face. She got knocked out. FML
Today, since I always fall asleep in class, I decided not to go to the bathroom beforehand, hoping the need to pee would keep me awake. I ended up falling asleep and wetting myself in the middle of the lecture. FML
Today, I fell asleep in the middle of an online class. Now everyone calls me Sleeping Beauty. FML
Today, my friend's phone rang in class and my teacher thought it was me, so now I have detention for a week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Funny how hypocrisy works. Don't give detention. Just wake them up. YDI for falling asleep.

I was showing a video, I've seen it a million times. I'm a great teacher, well respected amongst my peers and students.

Great teachers don't sleep in class. You may have been well respected before hand, but I'm willing to bet that you won't be now.

This is going to sound stupid, but you should publicly punish yourself, and do it in a way that the kids will appreciate and like. Find some way to make them smile, laugh, or just look at you in a shocked way, all while saying "This is happening because I broke my own rule." It will show them that you are serious about your rules, that you don't consider yourself above them, and will definitely make the kids like you more.

I have to admit, that sounded dumb at first.. But after reading it, that would actually be a fantastic idea!! Very good thinking! Discipline is key! Not only for the students, but for the teachers, themselves, as well! :)

Yeah, OP should give herself a note. Or a detention. Or she should beat her head against the wall until her brains explode, that will make the pupils look at her in a shocked way. Really, bro, I understand what you're saying (and I even agree a little bit), but it wouldn't be right, because teachers...well, they DO stand above their pupils. That's the power we have - and we also have the duty to use that power wisely. A public punishment may increase disrespectful behaviour against the teacher. The main problem here is just that giving a detention for falling asleep is way too hard. Maybe that kid has to work hard at home and barely has some sleep, who knows. The solution would be to apologize and (especially) to delete that rule. Then they know that you are aware of your mistake, without being laughed at.

Agreed 100%. Show them you're serious by giving yourself detention. You'll make them laugh and gain a lot of respect.

That is a great idea! I'm a teacher too and my kids respect me more when I do stuff like punishing myself or just saying when I break my own rules. Only Op should just make herself sharpen pencils or wash the board during class time. Something silly that stll makes the point to respect the rules.

Do you know how difficult it can be to stay awake in class for some kids? I had insomnia so I was always tired in class. I explained it to my teachers so they just let me sleep and then gave me the homework and some notes at the end of class.
