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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Serves you right, OP. Why would you even say that? At least he ha s a job, you're not better than him or anyone else who does "dirty work".

Wow, you're a complete asshole! You deserved it, but the girl and her father didn't! You actually POINTED a specific person out in the hallway?! A live person who has FEELINGS, bills to pay and a DAUGHTER TO SUPPORT! I seriously hope that taught you a lesson about respect for other people! It is NOT okay to humiliate someone to prove a point--especially not to impressionable young people! Teachers are supposed to practice respectful behaviour--you are supposed to set a good example! I fear for the future of the world when people like you are teaching the coming generations. You should be fired and re-hired as the janitor, while the janitor should get your job.

Op's attitude is exactly why people these days turn their noses up at jobs in places like McDonalds. Teach your students that if they want to do something they truly care about, they're likely gonna have to do some specialised study and work hard in school. You mostly want to teach them that it's good to do what work they can. hammer it into them that even if they can't find a paid job at a given time, they can go and work for charity. It's good for their morale, AND their CV. Teach them stuff like this. Do not belittle people for their jobs. Congrats, you went to university. You got a degree, and now you dedicate your life to trying to encourage others to do the same. That's fantastic. But for the love of God, reign in the ego and be a decent human being. That other people don't do the same doesn't make you better than them.

I don't think you are mature enough to teach kids about what is important in life.

Being a janitor is a highly respectable profession. It makes life easier for those who think such work is below their dignity. And the world doesn't need a bunch of straight-A students getting fancy jobs, it just needs a lower amount of imbeciles.

Maybe you shouldn't judge people. So what if he is a janitor? He is doing what it takes to support his family!! You suck at life...
