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".

You're an ass. There's nothing wrong with being a janitor.

Shame on you. You shouldn't be so judgmental. YDI

I just want to add, some janitors make damn good pay! Plus if it's a public school system, they are also getting great health insurance

YDI, it is very rude of you to insult somebody's intellect based upon the position they hold. They could have graduated from a prestigious college with a doctorate of the sciences in education and decided that they wanted to try another job. Never assume that anyone is lacking in education, that just makes an ass out of u and me. I hope they sue you for slandering them in front of your students.

OP, pull your head out of your ass and realize that an education is no good without common sense. I bet you think you're better than everyone "lower" than you? Well those hardworking people are the ones who enable you to live the lifestyle that you do. Just because somebody doesn't have a college degree doesn't mean that they aren't important members of society, or that the piece of paper that says you're 'educated' means that you're entitled to judge them.

My father had severe learning disabilities and took a job as a janitor in the public school system so he could have a secure job with benefits to support his family. He had job security, plenty of vacation days, and he never had to worry about paying for glasses, the dentist, or his meds. He only made about $21,000 a year his entire life and was still able to retire comfortably. His job also had nice insurance policies that meant that even though he had nothing in the bank when he died, he left us a nice inheritance. My dad made a great choice and I was very proud of him. You totally deserve how you feel.

Who are you to judge? What is they had no janitors and made you arrogant teachers clean up? Would you think him so insignificant or beneath you then? Why not tell the class how an education opens the doors to their dreams instead of how a judging society looks for ways to beat them down!

I thought school was all about the no bullying and no discrimination policy? Atleast he got a job taking responsibility for his family, I like to think that there is actually still people in this world that are able to be happy without swimming in money. Judging a persons worth cause of his job, smooth...

He has a job that helps him support his family. I've seen to many dead beat dads that would rather run away from there responsibility. Shame on you for judging him.
