Today, I sent out my monthly curriculum list to the parents of the kids in my math class so they can see what their children will be learning. I usually end my e-mails with the phrase 'math is power'. Now, 154 parents got an e-mail saying 'meth is power'. FML

Today, after submitting my college application, I noticed that I mistyped "math enthusiast" as "meth enthusiast". FML
Today, I passed my math test with flying colors. My dad thought I had cheated, so he emailed the school and told them that I had. They lowered my grade. FML
Today, they introduced us to this cheesy school email program. I was trying to be funny by making a draft and sent it to "All" and I typed, "Thanos did nothing wrong." The send button was right next to the discard email button. I sent, "Thanos did nothing wrong" to every kid and teacher at school. FML
Today, I went through my spam folder. I found out that I'd received several emails telling me that I have been sending emails containing essays for a class of mine to the wrong address. The term ended yesterday. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been seeing my maths teacher. I'm still failing his class. FML
Today, I was teaching a high school calculus class. I wrote a complex formula on the board. As I wrote, students asked if they could take a picture of the board and circulate it. I said yes, and I was pleased as everybody seemed to be taking pictures. Soon, I realized why: my skirt was tucked into my underwear. Within a few minutes, every student in the school had an email with a picture of my ugliest pair of floral-printed panties. FML
Today, my math teacher told me to learn how to say "welcome to wal-mart". FML
Today, my math teacher decided to use my acne as an example of symmetry in front of the whole class. FML
Today, in calculus, our substitute teacher told me I was smart. Everybody in the class, including my friends, burst out laughing. FML
Today, I’m a high school teacher and I finally learned how to use the smartboard properly. I connected my laptop to demonstrate a lesson… and projected the last thing I had open: a half-written email complaining about how loud this exact class is. Thirty teenagers read it in silence. One kid raised his hand and said, “Fair.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's ok, with the exception of calculus and linear algebra, math is completely useless.

Are you actually calling calculus useful? Almost no one uses calculus in real life. If you're not an engineer or a mathematician then you'll probably never need to use calculus.

Ever work in finance? or consulting? (elasticity rates are crucial in many fields, I spent my time determining ideal deposit) To a lesser extent, if you play games a lot of the engines employ rate changes. Additionally, almost all economics is based upon calculus and statistics.

Then there's the tons of trig and other advanced stuff involved in 3D graphics. You may not find a use for these things every day, if you have a boring job, but there are plenty of uses for them.

wtf? You need to most of the 12+ years of math you learned in school to be able to do calc and linear algebra!

Lol, that's pretty funny. If you always end your e-mails with "Math is Power" I'm sure the parents will realize that you just made a typo this time.

as a math major, i totally ******* love you lol. But that's what these stupid helicopter parents get for needing to know every single detail of their children's lives. maybe they should trust that the teachers are doing a good job or teach their kids themselves.

its called proofreading. try it sometime.
iamme_fml 0
Proofreading does not always catch everything... Often people will read their own work and read it how they think it is rather than what is actually there. This is why in school when they do peer editing and people switch papers... This isn't always the case and some people do catch their mistakes..but a lot don't. Proofreading may not have saved this.

So proofreading is somehow bad? Those of us in the big scary world successfully use it without having to "switch papers with the student behind us".

When did they say proofreading was bad? They said it doesn't catch everything and has its flaws. God, I hate when people assume shit and put words into other peoples mouths.
