Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. 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 asked my classmate to look over my essay. His comments were longer than the essay itself. FML
Today, my teacher gave me a 0% on my personal narrative in my writing class. His only comment on the whole paper was, "Too long, didn't read." FML
Today, I got feedback on an essay I wrote, by my mum who is also a teacher. She said it was 'worse than most of her pupils'. She teaches 10-year-olds. I'm a 20-year-old student at university. FML
Today, I tried really hard for once on an assignment. I was told it was my worst work yet and that I may as well have turned nothing in at all. 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
Today, I lost a grade on an essay, because according to my teacher, I put much more detail into my analytical essay than I should have. FML
Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Talk to him and see if maybe you can get the grade changed or something. That's not fair at all

Well, something can be written very well, like proper use of grammar etc. However, that doesn't always mean that the content is great.. Sorry, OP. I know the feeling, it still sucks.

This happened to me, except my paper was this huge graduation requirement called the "I-Search." She said my idea of creativity was great and she couldn't wait to see it when it was done. I completed it with a week to spare. She then said my project wouldn't work because the idea/format wasn't MLA. I had to start from scratch. When we came back, she then told the entire class my idea and said it would be perfectly fine to use...sometimes, teachers are jerks. I'm so sorry, no one deserves this type of thing to happen to them.

In the tenth grade I had a teacher give me a C on almost every essay I wrote all year. My mom ended up calling her to ask what more I could do because she saw I was trying my hardest and she thought my essays were worth more than Cs. The teacher told her my essays were actually worth A's and she considered them "college material". she graded me poorly because she thought it would push me to work even harder. SO I FEEL YOU IM SORRY YOUR TEACHER IS A TOTAL DOUCHEBAG.

My prof basically did the same thing to my group for our final paper. We handed it in twice so she could guide us in the direction we needed to go to get an A. She said everything was great and we were doing exactly what she wanted, when we got it back she gave us a C-
