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.
Same thing different taste
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
Foot, meet mouth
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
Descriptive
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
Undervalued
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
Lazy comeback
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
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
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.

just because someone has a what you consider a "lowly" job doesnt mean theyre stupid. have you seen the economy? finding a well paying job isnt exactly easy, so people will take whatever job they can find. so it doesnt exactly mean theyre stupid

wtf. what kind of teacher are u. at least he has a job. for all you know he could more a bigger degree than you, and just had take something to feed his family. plus even if it is someone who cant do any better, at least he is working. you never put a workibg person down. trust me u yourself as most of americans are only a few paychecks from being homeless. so at least hes doing his family proud. also. as a teacher, u shouldnt laugh to much bc as a basic teacher with a 4year degree many call centers employees get paid more than u without a degree. ive worked with many teachers tht got paid more answering phone for insurance company vs teaching. so u better check urself. sounds like u need a reality check and a new career.

Why are you even allowed inside of a school? I just want to slap you for this idiotic method of "inspiring" your students to aim for a higher education. Do you even understand the type of message you're sending them? You're a moron and a foul person.

At least he has a job and is providing for his family and is not homeless.

I made an account to tell you how much you failed as a teacher, wait no, as a human being and you should do the universe a favor and end your pathetic excuse of a life. Mere words do not describe your form of stupidity and ignorance.

Have fun vacuuming your classroom on your own tonight, jackass.

Wow that was a really rude thing to say. At least that man has a job and works hard for his family. You probably scarred that kid for life and mortified them too. FYL for being an inconsiderate thoughtless jerk and YDI. I hope the student reports you for the slanderous talk and comparison. Just because someone is a janitor doesn't mean they aren't educated and are less then you.

And btw I know two very nice ladies that are school janitors that come in my store all the time. They're educated, funny, smart and damn hard working. Seriously that was just so wrong of you.

I was trying to figure out what to say that's appropriate and I came up with retarded close minded bitch. I hope that girl is smart enough to tell your boss
