Today, I found out that my writing teacher entered in one of my paper grades wrong. After many emails, she said she can't change my grade unless I fax her the original. I need that grade fixed so I can keep my scholarship. I can’t find the paper anywhere. That one paper could cost me $30,000. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that I chose a wrong class and my 30-page paper worth 10 credit points that I wrote for that class is basically worthless now, and my graduation might be postponed another semester just because of that. FML
Today, I found out that my ten-page paper, which has taken me two months to construct perfectly and is worth 30% of my grade, was on the wrong book. It’s due tomorrow. FML
Today, I found out that I owe my college a little over $10,000. Why? Because, due to a slight misspelling of my name, the scholarship that I have been going insane trying to meet the requirements for is not actually giving me any funding. FML
Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML
Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML
Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, my teacher told me that she couldn't find my hand-written essay on the Renaissance, and that I have to re-do it all by tomorrow. I later saw my essay on her desk, covered in a massive coffee stain that made virtually everything unreadable. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I met my teacher after school to talk about a paper on which he gave me a low grade. I told him that I felt it was wrongly graded and he agreed. He lowered my score. FML
Today, I received a terrible grade for an essay I worked really hard on. I had two friends, one being an English major, check it over. However, apparently I "clearly didn't use spellcheck" on this essay just like the last one I submitted to her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is why you save your papers on the computer.

#1: By original, the teacher means the graded copy so that she can verify that the OP isn't BSing her about the wrong grade thing. And, OP, that really sucks. I hope you find it.

I hate that kind of shit. My teachers give me back so many papers I wouldn't have a chance of keeping them all, so when they mess up I can't really do anything about it.

FYL teachers who aren't organized enough to hold onto papers in case of discrepencies like this should just quit, or at least move to a smaller school where they have less on their plates. And she wants you to fax it? I didn't know we were living in 1992.

I hate teachers. When this happens they need to give you extra time. It's really not your fault it's theirs.

I'm sorry dude. Certainly NOT a YDI! That chick shouldn't be so mean about it. She's probabl some bitter person who never got her scholarship and ended up being a teacher so she's playing devils advocate and messing up your fate! I hate people like that! If i were her dude, i'd change it for you, even if you didn't still have the paper. Hope it works out!

Irresponsibility isn't an FML.

27, why is the OP irresponsible? Maybe the teacher should actually do her job and record grades correctly. FML just harbors people who ride the bitter bus, or in 27's case, sucks the bitter balls.

They never said they didn't save it. They only said they CANT FIND IT. Because obviously no one on this forum has ever not been able to find something. You also have to keep in mind that its the end of the school year. A lot of people who go to school are moving back out of dorms at this time, so its possible it got lost in the process. If all else fails, you can print out a new copy and see if they'll re-grade it? It might not end up the same though. Hope you find it =

The teacher needs where they wrote the grade on the physical copy, not a digital copy to be re graded.
