Today, I found out why my biology class TA, who takes the class alongside the other students, was always so eager to collect my work. Turns out, she's been erasing my name on my papers and writing hers in all semester. My failing final grade has already been finalized. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out why my history grade is so low: the kid in front of me takes my homework, writes his name on it, and passes it off as his own. FML
Today, I was taking a biology final and was just randomly tapping my pencil. My teacher thought I was somehow communicating with the person next to me, and decided to fail me. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML
Today, I was copying an assignment from my friend and was feeling confident that I was gonna pass. I later found out I copied his name too, so the teacher failed us both. He won't talk to me now. FML
Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML
Today, I found out that my entire class, me included, has to rewrite the painfully difficult midterm we wrote last week. All this because the Professor left the exams strewn across her desk. The cleaners thought it was trash and disposed of them. FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

After you get your grades back, don't forget to punch that bastard in nose.

Have you not been checking your grades when they are posted? That should've told you earlier in the semester. Either way, that sucks

What a goddamn rat, ask the teacher to compare your writing. This should have serious academic ramifications.

If this is a college class contact the dean and security. They can get some serious charges pressed on the TA that stole your work

Most colleges have strict rules against stealing work. File charges. You should be able to prove it was your work with computer records, etc. Even if not once charges are filed you can ask for them to test you and the TA. Your fingerprints should be all over the paper that was turned in. If that does not work threaten court. You paid for the course, and spent countless hours on the work. If the TA stole your work and you fail the course that qualifies as theft. As it is probably a very significant amount (tuition, housing, hours of work, etc.) it probably qualifies as a felony. Since the TA was technically an employee of the school, you would name the school as well as the TA in the suit. My guess is that they just want to ignore it as a problem, but if they get a letter from a lawyer it becomes a much bigger problem. (Hire a lawyer - it gives credence to your willingness to fight this). They want to avoid court and the bad publicity (imagine it getting out in the news). They would probably me much happier to start looking into the case at this point.

TA is teacher's assistant. Someone in the education program shadowing a class. Although I don't know how that's allowed that she is also in it....

You should definitely go to the teacher and if need be over their head. On another note, how is the TA someone who hasn't actually taken the class?
