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.

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".

That was a really insensitive thing to say.

Youre just an ass. I happen to know VERY intelligent people with less than great jobs.

I chose to drop out of college because it was just wasting my time and money when I didn't even know what I wanted to major in. I chose to join the Army when I found out I was going to be a dad. I chose to live in a place where I can see my daughter every week even though it means taking a crappy paying job rather than moving somewhere that I could make more money. You are not better than me. What you do for a living doesn't somehow magically make you a better person nor does it say anything about your life or the journey you took. Lots of people I know are uneducated but have college degrees. Mostly they memorized what they needed to pass tests but didn't learn anything. I know other people that learned throughout school are still learning and though missing the piece of paper that says they know things are more educated than most people coming out of diploma mills. We are not better than you. The greatest thing that my teachers inadvertently taught me was that the key to success is happiness. That was the motto central to their "stay in school" speech that was all about how no one is happy without a college degree. That Janitor has a daughter that is proud of her hard working daddy. Guy's got a Million dollar a year job.

...because janitors don't have feelings? That's extremely inappropriate.

You don't just give out examples of people's lives. Especially if you're giving a lecture. YDI.

Remember kids! If you get an education then you have the right to be a stuck up prick like me!! I doubt that man worked his ass off for 16 years to pay for her to be educated by an ass like you!
