Today, in my AP U.S. history class, we had a very long, very slow discussion about whether or not Vermont is a state. I think I lost brain cells. FML

Today, during a lecture, my teacher jokingly talked about the time he was best buds with George Washington. Another student then asked, "Really? You knew him?" I'm in an advanced placement U.S. history class. FML

Today, I sat through an incredibly long and tedious class lecture. Just as my professor was nearing the end of his lecture, the resident stoner loudly yawned and asked what we'd been talking about for the past hour. We got to hear most of the lecture all over again. FML

Today, I had a really big debate in my English Class about the legalization of weed. My group had to state reasons why weed shouldn't be legal and no one except me had prepared. My partner came to class totally stoned. Our group lost the debate. We got a F. FML

Today, I had to explain to my teacher that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. She kicked me out of class when she found out I was right. FML

Today, I learned, 90 horrifying minutes into a college exam, that my 85-year-old calculus teacher had spent the last three weeks teaching us the wrong chapter. FML

Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML

Today, I was babysitting, and a little girl asked for help with her homework. I cheerfully began an explanation, only to freeze mid-sentence. I could not for the life of me remember how to do long-division. I'm about to graduate from Cornell University, and her little brother had to correct me. FML

Unfair failing

By Mistakes were made - 24/10/2022 23:00 - United States

Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML

Alright, just to be clear, we're actually a landlocked island provenance governed by many British queens throughout history who use time travel. Maple syrup is currency (it's 78¢ per fluid ounce) and counterfeiting is a common problem, especially with those corn-syrup-selling Miss Buttersworth assholes. I'd tell you more, but my knowledge is in low capacity mode while the rest of the population is in hibernation—we're also a hive mind.

It was an A.P. class??!! Appalling! So, what did y'all decide? State or not a state? Where was the teacher in this debate, or was s/he confused too? Our education system sucks. 'Murica.

One of two possibilities, 1 someone in your class seriously did not think, or did not know that Vermont was a state, or 2. someone in your class knows how to get a teacher off topic

As a Vermonter, being asked if Vermont is a state or what state Vermont is in os a common occurrence. However, it being an AP class, I'm appalled at the ignorance. We are the 14th state jfc

I don't know if it varies between schools, but where I went to school, they had no standards for AP classes, meaning any idiot could easily sign up for one if they wanted to. And they would be placed into it no questions asked.
