Today, I was lecturing my high school students on the importance of a good education. I pointed out the janitor in the hall and told them if they didn't stay in school, they'd end up like him. Then one of my students raised her hand and reminded me that the janitor I pointed to was her dad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my maths teacher was giving my whole class a lecture on 'if you don't pay attention at school, you will fail.' She then pointed out out a man working on the roof and said: 'if you don't listen, you will end up like that guy.' That was my dad. FML
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, the mother of one of my students bitched me out about her son's poor grades. He lazes around all day, paying no attention and being a constant nuisance. But, she says it's not his fault, and demands that I give him better grades so he won't get "self-esteem" issues. FML
Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML
Today, I was sent to an elementary school for safety day. One of the dads was asking about my job, when I told him about the long hours and high stress involved. He turned to his son and said, "Now see why you stay in school?" I'm a paramedic. With a bachelor's degree. FML
Today, I was doing my job and trying to teach a lazy bunch of 16-year-olds. A girl entered the room just 15 minutes before class ended, so I snapped, "Someone had better have died for you to be this late!" She immediately burst into tears. Turns out, someone had. FML
Today, I had to go to my 10 year-old son's school to talk about my job being a chef. As I was almost finished, I asked the kids "What would you like to do when you grow up?" Without hesitation one kid replied with a straight face, "Anything but being a douchebag like you." FML
Today, my philosophy teacher asked me about my parents. I replied that my mum was a cleaner and my dad was a bus driver. In an astonished voice, she said, "But, you're clever..." FML
Today, I was sternly told that if I didn't pass more students, I would be out of a job. I then went to my class to collect papers, and was stymied by how I could be giving passing grades to the 12 of 24 who didn't turn anything in. College students. FML
Today, I accused a student in my class of getting his dad to do his homework. It turns out that his dad died two years ago. FML

Ydi. A lot of people end up with jobs like that because they can't get anything better and at least they have a job.

YDI. Every job in society is important even if they may seem insignificant towards you and your life. With out that janitor your school would be dirty etc... Maybe you should teach the kids about equality and manners just a thought.

they tend to resort to the easiest way of earning - which is normally sordid. NOW being a janitor's alright because it's an honest and hardworking job - appreciate them for what they've done even though their job. Without them, the school would be filthy as shit. I hope you reevaluate your principles. By the way, It's the littlest thing that can make someone's day: recognising and appreciating their contribution is - regardless whether it was a big or small one. Apologises for such a long-winded post & any grammatical errors

Firstly, Educators must be BOTH literate & EDUCATED. Teachers are only require to be literate. If you ever wonder what's the difference - to be educated means to have moral integrity. Why? For educators to instill basic principles in students so that they'll view the social affairs or the world with an open-mind. When that happens, there's hope for a harmonious world as they're most likely to spread love & peace than hatred.

Thus, you're clearly just a teacher as evident from the fact that you disparaged the janitor for the disparity in job status. In all honesty, I'm proud of that girl who stood up for her dad and made you realise that you & your comment were morally disgusting. Secondly, Education does not guarantee success in one's life. Look at this living/dead examples: Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison & etc. What about those smart lazybones, how do they survive? 1. Most of them are very dependent on others like their family or partner. 2. They change job too often. Their reason? 'conflict of interest'. Of which simply means they've strong disinclination to cooperate with other. 3. Based on my own experience with such people,

Good points, Duotrain. All, except one: Thomas Edison was a douche canoe. That is all.
