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 should be thankful for all of the janitors. It's because of them busting their asses that you have a clean classroom to teach in. Unless you'd like to clean it yourself. YDI.

Not everyone can get a job that pays more than $20/h. It's impossible! Who would do all those minimum wage jobs? If everyone went to university they wouldn't all have high paying jobs some would have to suck it up except the job market is way flooded and become a cashier. I went to college to become a hairdresser, wanna know what I make 10.50/h after spending 11,000 on my education. But that's why you marry someone you love who makes 4x that. Do you even understand how difficult job searching is OP?

YDI for being a douchebag. I'm 99.9% sure that you're one of the people that thinks if you aren't a doctor, lawyer, algebra teacher or accountant you're basically a failure.

What a horrible thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself.

There's no shame in having a job.

How are you even allowed to say that in a school? You should be encouraging the children to do their best and find a career they may be good at enjoy, not telling them they have to do it your way. It is exactly this kind of attitude that pushes people who have specific skills and could really do great in vocational jobs such as plumbing or whatever away from the idea of school and work altogether. They end up thinking that it's university or nothing and end up dropping out and on benefits. You're lucky you didn't get disciplined for having such a poor attitude and understanding of what the economy needs and how children develop.
