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.

Never say anything mean in class. You could hurt a lot of feelings. Seriously! That is one of the meanest things I have ever heard!

-_- You need to go back to a first grade manners class. There was a janitor in my middle school who had a very high paying job. But he quit it & decided to be a janitor because he liked the job. He was very well respected in my school. I'm surprised you're still teaching.

I know a janitor that uses to cut Whitney Huston's hair, he got nerve damage and now can't. Obviously not all janitors are high school drop outs.

Everyone's job is important, that's what your object lesson should have been. Your attitude sucks and you deserve to have that girl and her parents file a formal complaint against you with the union and the board of education. You also owe that girl and her family an apology. You're an ass hole and you deserve whatever you get. YDI

There's plenty of people with less formal education that have way more common sense than that ignorant bitch. My grandpa was only educated til 8th grade, he had to leave school to help his family. (It was in the 1940's) He got a job in the mines, and once he had kids, worked odd jobs in addition to the regular job he was working all to support his wife and five kids. HE has more character and work ethic in his pinky than this dumbass has in her entire body. He's one of the smartest people I know, and he didn't even graduate highschool.His goal was for my dad to get his Highschool diploma, and my Dads goal is for me to get my college degree. And guess what i want to major in? EDUCATION! I hope I NEVER become a pompous holier than thou asshole like OP. You can be educated, and still be a total prick. There's plenty of great teachers that make a difference through education, and impact peoples' lives for the better. Education is such a good thing, and you make it look snobbish.

You're ignorant! Not everybody have big fancy teaching degrees. The reality is that your school wouldn't run without support staff like him

Could have worded that a lot different! I understand youre stressing the value of a good education, but you know what? Being a janitor does not mean youre less of a person. Its an honest living! I wash dishes at a pizza place and mow grass on weekends. Im only 18 and its part time but its honest work
