Today, I was threatened to be held back because of the lack of teacher-parent communication. My parents refuse to sign my report card because of my one mark below ninety percent. My teacher was dead serious about failing me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents saw my report card. Now, they refuse to buy me my the new computer I've always wanted because my grades had 'slipped'. I made honor roll for three terms, and was kept off for the fourth for a single bad grade. I failed gym. FML
Today, I got my report card. My teacher gave me an F, and under class comments she gave me a U for unsatisfactory. So I got an F U from my teacher. FML
Today, my parents have made it very clear to me that if I fail one more assignment, they’re disowning me. I got a zero on a paper that I poured my heart and soul into, and in the notes, the teacher wrote, “I don’t even need to read this paper to know that it is bad.” FML
Today, my mom said if I don't get straight As in my classes this year, she'll get the school to hold me back until I do. I believe her. FML
Today, my math teacher brought his laptop to tally up all our scores for our report card. He then displayed the results on a big screen in front of the whole class. The ones who failed were marked yellow. I was the only one marked yellow. FML
Today, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. FML
Today, we got our progress reports. My physics teacher wrote that I don't participate in class. My mom got mad and grounded me before I could tell her that I raise my hand in class all the time but my teacher won't call on me cause he can't pronounce my name. 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, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, my friend said that his dad told him we couldn't hang out anymore, he thinks I'm a bad influence because I don't have all 90's in my classes. The only reason he knows I have below a 90 is because he's my geography teacher. I have an 87. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Am I the only one who thinks your parents are more bitchier than your teacher?

Surely the teacher can't fail you if you're one mark below 90, is there no other communication besides your report card? I'm sure if it was important your teacher could call or email...

pretty sure ur teacher can't do that. I work in a 2nd grade classroom and we have a student who can't read or write and does barely any work, never does homework but we can't keep him behind because the school would lose funding...

I'm sorry for your job, but schools like that should be shut down. Going to school and graduating is not the same as getting an education anymore because of stuff like this. Someone has to take a stand. EDUCATION is important. KNOWLEDGE is power. Having a signed piece of paper at the end of high school means nothing.

Too bad you don't live in America. They almost refuse to hold anyone back anymore because of No Child Left Behind.

Schools should go back to bell-curve grading with standard deviations. This "A or unacceptable" grading system does not distinguish students that are truly performing above the rest and allows students that shouldn't pass to continue with no foundation. "C" is supposed to be average, yet it is reserved for lesser students, especially in public education. I can't say I know much about the Canadian system of education, but universally it must be accepted that some students are better than others and that's okay.

I don't know where you are from, but in Ontario (where op is from) a B is average, not C.

Seeing your location (not certain about the states), that is illegal! Talk to the principal and get it fixed.

There's something wrong with a school policy where a student gets punished because the parents and teachers don't communicate well

Your parents sound like idiots I'm a mom of three.....I would never refuse to sign a report card cause of a grade you talk to the teacher and your kid not what they are doing plus your teacher sounds like a wanker

Talk to the principal. If she wants to talk to your parents she should contact them.
