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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 is pretty ridiculous, I hope that income wasn't too important.

It's obvious you are a lousy teacher. You forgot to teach him the most important lesson in life. Always shamelessly claim credit for your work. :p

That's a type of stupid that can't be fixed.

Never heard of a teacher going that. Maybe taking off a few points and of thats the case. Was his gradea "D" and the,minus 5 for the name made it a "F"? If he got a "d" then,yescu thought of been fired.

Wow... and I still don't get how people function daily when they have no idea. I don't think the teacher should be held responsible for anything. I've lived in multiple states across the US and went through many different schools as a kid. It was always taught from kindergarten through junior high school to write your name on your paper. In high school they just assumed you weren't that stupid. Many of my teachers would just throw the test in the garbage. If they finished grading papers and yours didn't receive a grade then you failed. It was only exceptionally nice teachers that'd try to find a name to the paper. We need to educate kids better these days instead of laying the blame on others.

Completely agree. It's like that cartoon that's all over the place. Fifty years ago a kid with a failing grade is cowering in front of his parents as they ask him to explain the grade and in the next panel the parents are holding a failing grade over the teacher's head and asking her what she's going to do about the bad grade while the kid smirks in the back. Students these days have it way easier and really really don't want to do any work of any kind.
