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".

yeah, because your stereotyping did any good. Most of the time that's the kind of job men and women in the armed forces come home to- jobs that everyone looks down on. Sorry but you're a douche. My husband worked overnight janitorial jobs straight out of the Marine Corps because that's the job he could get, and so he worked his ass off so that he could keep his apartment... and I've watched so many of my friends go through the same thing too. Don't look down your nose at anyone. You aren't better than them... They're working the crap jobs to make a living, and that doesn't always mean they aren't "educated"

You are an idiot!! I can't believe you would demoralize someone as an example on a classroom. You should be fired! That janitor probably makes more then you with his sweet union job. You have no business teaching. I hope you get knocked off your high and mighty teacher pedestal you stupid ass!!!

Typical teacher response.. Those that can do, do... Those that can not, teach.

You are an asshole. If you were successful then you can look down at the janitor, but instead you are a highschool teacher (Didn't do anything with your life)

You should respect the janitor, they clean up shit after you. I work in a school and thank god for the janitor, she cleans up after the kids puke all over the floor. You are SO disrespectful!

That's awfully rude, I bet hat man has more integrity and honor in his pinky than you do in your whole body.

All these comments bashing OP make me hopeful about the world we live in. I hope OP read each one, felt really really shitty and learned something from all this.
