Today, I was telling my students that it's unnecessary to put arrows on the bottom of the page to tell me there's work on the back, I check it anyway. At the end of the day, at least 6 kids came up to me asking to change their grade because I forgot to grade the back. They hadn't put arrows. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I had to re-grade a student's assignments because neither he, nor his parents can read "Spanish." I'd written in cursive. FML
Today, I’m a middle-school teacher. Handing back graded essays, only to realize halfway through that I’d left my personal notes visible on the projector. One said, “Great kid, but talks like a podcast on 1.5x speed.” The student read it out loud before I could close the tab. FML
Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML
Today, one of my fourth-graders came up to me and asked, "Can you please not put my test grades in the weekly folders? My mom likes to get mad when I get below a 90." FML
Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML
Today, while grading my kindergarteners' spelling tests, one kid spelled all the words wrong, including his name. FML
Today, I got a history project back that I worked very hard on. The teacher didn't bother to write any feedback, besides, "Did you even understand the assignment?" on the back. FML
Today, while correcting essays, I spilled ketchup on a student's paper. I managed to successfully turn it into a happy smiley face but when proudly looking at the result, noticed it was right next to the big "F" that I had graded it. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't bitch about the arrows then. It's not like they were hurting something in the first place. Those students drew those for your benefit.

I bet they lied. Get a bad grade, decide to write more, and pretend the teacher neglected to see the whole thing. Even adults do stuff like that. Don't fall for it.

perhaps it wasn't written there in the first place but they added it afterwards?

Well, see I'd say yes it Is their fault for not identifying the additional information. however, I can see your nothing like the average public school employee who in all honesty would just be happy to have the excuse to pass more students. my mother, father, grandmother, and her mother were all teachers. your attitude may of been the 1950 standard but I'll tell you due to economic issues and complaints even award winning author teachers who have all sorts of awards are bending over backwards to upset 0 students/parents

Why would you even tell them not to draw arrows? That takes about 0.06 seconds. Dumbass.

How do you now get it? She said she checks the back. She only does if the kids put arrows. They didn't put arrows so she didn't check the back.
