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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

No, wrong. She's saying she checks the back so it's unnecessary to put arrows. But she forgot to check the back when they didn't put arrows.

Draw an arrow on your desk reminding you to check the back of the papers.

what if they like to draw? I would say you want to see overly ornate arrows, done in the style of midlevel Bible scribes who would do that fantastic "artistic first letter on the page" thing.

just let them draw arrows. tbh, I don't see any problem with drawing an arrow. if you get annoyed by it, too bad. there's worse things in life.

Uhh FYL because you told students not to draw arrows on the bottom of their papers, they obeyed you, and then you realized you were wrong in telling them not to, and had to regrade a couple papers? Oh...OK. Just making sure I didn't miss anything. Your life is far from ****** my friend.

Its really not the end of the world...just don't expect them to take you seriously for a while. Surely complaining about arrows was undeeded though I doubt they were anything big and intrusive and could be easily ignored.
