Today, instead of actually teaching us something, our college professor excitedly showed us the godawful Harlem Shake video he made with his friends. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my son had to help out at the local retirement home for his community service. He got in serious trouble and came whining to me about it after he tried threatening some of the residents into taking part in a Harlem Shake video. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. 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, in gym class, we were forced to learn the "Hoedown Throwdown" dance, by Miley Cyrus. This will actually be counted toward my grade. I'm in high school. FML
Today, my dad walked in on me filming a Harlem Shake video. He stared for a moment, then said, "Son, I don't have a problem with homosexuals, but… nevermind", shook his head and walked out. FML
Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML
Today, I found FML for the first time in class, and literally laughed out loud in the middle of the lecture in front of 200 classmates. Today's lecture? The cruelties of slavery. FML
Today, I wanted to teach my students about history with dominoes. I thought the online video would be wholesome or relevant to history. Nope. The last domino was captioned "HENTAI." Students now get to explain to their parents that I exposed the word Hentai to their vocabulary. FML
Today, I changed my teacher's PowerPoint picture to me making a funny face. He saw it and changed it to a picture of him, with a middle finger. FML
Today, at college, the weird guy who stares at me every day came over, said, "I've made you a mixtape," then handed me an old, empty Queen's Greatest Hits CD case and scuttled off. FML

I'll tell you what, in a situation like this it has to be unanimous in the class to look at that shit and it can only be during off-time. I've experienced this both ways. One was a teacher in social studies who kept talking about his favourite football team (that's soccer for americans) and got derailed from teaching into this very topic as soon as someone mentioned it. The second is a teacher I have right now, he's a computer teacher, meaning he has a class in which we learn pretty much all there is to know about computers. At every stop where people go to fetch coffee or go to lunch he talks about video games and other unrelated stuff and shows videos he likes of games or just about anything. No one gets annoyed because no one needs to be involved and no one loses worktime. I'll go ahead and say that the teacher should have a slap on the wrists and if he doesn't better himself he doesn't deserve the job he has. The problem here is that the derailing bad teachers are often very likeable and you wouldn't necessarily want him gone. But my class ran into trouble when we changed teachers at the end of the semester, and trust me, you will too.

Nice that your teacher has a sense of humor, but I feel your pain. I hate Harlem Shake.

As much as I hate the Harlem shake I would hate to have to watch it, but on the bright side at least it sounds like you have a pretty fun professor.

I personally like it when teachers take a break from lecturing and joke around with us students and have fun. It shows us a funnier side to them and it gives us a break from note taking!

What is the problem with the Harlem Shake? It's only 30 something seconds, it's the same as any other fad we've had over the years and accept for situations like this, you don't have to watch it. I would agree that your teacher is wrong, but furthermore I don't understand why everyone gets so offensive about the Harlem Shake. It's just for funzies, just like Gangnam style. Why was Gangnam style okay and this isn't?
