Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

To be honest, ur is probably more accurate than your. At least you are getting the u as in you, and r as in are. "your" is just stupid. If you're going to correct someone, do it right. Seriously...

I doubt it... Your eyes play tricks on you, and for mentally challenged kids it's instinctual fir them to pay closer attention, so don't feel. bad.

Ok, OP is obviously not making fun of children with mental disabilities, she is a Special Needs teacher for shit's sake. It takes someone with loads of patience and give a damn to teach these kids.

You say you assured them it was correct, does that mean you let them think they were wrong? That's mean! Here they have the confidence to speak up, they notice a mistake, and they're shot down and left confused? Poor kids!
