Today, the boy I tutor failed his math test. As a result, the family fired me. The boy failed because he forgot to write his name at the top. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while grading my kindergarteners' spelling tests, one kid spelled all the words wrong, including his name. FML
Today, I was copying an assignment from my friend and was feeling confident that I was gonna pass. I later found out I copied his name too, so the teacher failed us both. He won't talk to me now. FML
Today, disappointed with my results on a mathematics test, I went over it and realized my teacher had added up the marks incorrectly, leaving me with 17% less than I earned. The person who's supposed to be teaching me math can't even perform basic arithmetic. FML
Today, I cheated on my math exam. I still failed. FML
Today, I passed my math test with flying colors. My dad thought I had cheated, so he emailed the school and told them that I had. They lowered my grade. 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, my Spanish teacher told me that the reason the girl I'm tutoring hasn't contacted me yet is because she emailed the teacher saying she didn't like my name, therefore she didn't want me to be her tutor. FML
Today, in order to bump my grade up from total failure to the lowest possible passing grade, my training examiner eventually agreed to raise my score by one pity point for spelling my own name correctly on the exam paper, after I told him I had to pass the course or be fired from my job. 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, 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

That's ridiculous. Just tell his parents what happened.

That is pretty ridiculous, I hope that income wasn't too important.

Looks like you forgot to cover basic test taking instructions, strategies and techniques. Just as important as covering the material

You can't teach a new dog old tricks. Or in this case a helpless student.

Dammit me too. I always fail that question. Hardest on the test!

I don't understand how you were aware of the reason, but not his parents.

Who the crap fails a student on a test just because they forgot one little thing?

You'd be surprised. In my old school people actually got marks on their papers for writing their names. Ridiculous, I know.

At least you know you did such a good job at teaching him math that you left him forgetting his name...i

Well I guess that's why they hired you, you're smarter than they are. If you knew why he failed then they definitely should have caught on at some point.

If the student you tutor is old enough to have a job, and does, sue for loss of income. Because of the students neglect, you lost at least part of your income.
