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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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!

#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 just love how everyone on FML picks out tiny details of errors that anyone would have made to to justify saying YDI. It's the teachers responsibility to enter the grades correctly, and they caused the unnecessary problem.

Much like someone having a high credit score and being considered trust worthy to finance things, it sounds like you have high enough grades to have earned enough credit worthiness with trust. I would approach the principal or school head along with your parents, and petition the grade. One grade shouldn't be the only thing standing between you and a scholarship.

That's ****** up, I hope you find it. Yeah, you SHOULD have kept it somewhere where you'd know where it is, but accidents happen. Especially if you're someone who gets assigned a ton of papers, it's not that absurd to think that one could get misplaced. Not a YDI, your teacher is the idiot.

@44 Apparently not, considering that this one paper determines whether or not the OP keeps the scholarship or not. That means that they probably have lower grades in other classes as well, low enough to put the OP on the borderline. This one grade probably determines if they get an A or a B in the class and therefore determines their overall GPA. IF said GPA isn't at, say, 3.5 (in most cases for scholarships this big)....they lose their scholarship. If you can't maintain a 3.5 when vying to keep a 30,000 scholarship you DEFINITELY deserve it. I'm looking at the bigger picture here. Sure, I'd be pissed off too, but I wouldn't be at a 3.48 hoping for an A to push it into the safe area.

Finding it is immaterial, use reason to appeal to the professor and make her understand the seriousness of the situation - she's got a heart - make her understand the consequences that could come out of this and she'll help you out. Just be reasonable with her and she'll be reasonable with you. TOB man
