Today, while teaching my high school class about astronomy, I showed them a picture of earth from space. One girl raised her hand, and asked me what the "white things" were. In other words, clouds. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mom saw a picture of the moon and asked me what "those big spots" were. She actually thought the craters were continents and tried correcting me when I told her what they were. Then I almost got into trouble for being disrespectful. FML
Today, in astronomy class, a kid used Uranus in a hilarious innuendo. I was the only one who laughed. I also happen to be the teacher. FML
Today, as a science teacher, I did a science experiment in front of a class. One of my students asked me if it was "photoshopped." He was being serious. FML
Today, it was the first day of astronomy class and we all waited for the professor to enter the classroom. All of a sudden, someone turns the lights off, it's pitch black, and we hear the professor saying, "Greetings earthlings..." It's going to be a long semester. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, in class I was teaching 6 year olds about the difference between short and tall, and I asked them how they could see that I was shorter than the other teacher. One of them raised their hand and said it was because I'm fatter. FML
Today, I stepped outside the house with my wife. She looked up at the sky and asked me in all seriousness if stars are man-made. FML
Today, my 5-year-old told me that she'd learnt about gravity, then asked, “So when you fall down, is it because the Earth punched you?” I said yes, along with a giggle. Later at the supermarket, she tripped and screamed, “THE EARTH HIT ME AGAIN!” I was then reminded of high school when it felt like everyone was staring at me. FML
Today, I was teaching a high school calculus class. I wrote a complex formula on the board. As I wrote, students asked if they could take a picture of the board and circulate it. I said yes, and I was pleased as everybody seemed to be taking pictures. Soon, I realized why: my skirt was tucked into my underwear. Within a few minutes, every student in the school had an email with a picture of my ugliest pair of floral-printed panties. FML
Today, my college class was talking about Felix Baumgartner, who jumped from the edge of space down to earth. A boy suddenly put his head up and said in a serious tone, "I thought he jumped from the moon?" Several girls concurred. This is my generation. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YoItsJake - I suppose his title of "mister" threw you, eh? Well I'm having trouble figuring out if you're a ******* douchebag or a complete asshole. I'll have to think about it.

Just slap her. That's the only thing you could do in that situation.

Sad, just sad. These kids are our future. There's a good chance that this "student" will be able to vote in an election within 2 years. I weep for the future.

There's also a chance this student is only 12 (7-12 schools) and you're making an idiot out of yourself saying he/she can vote in 2 years...

OP said highschool, usually meaning 14-18. She also said it was an astronomy class, which is a subject often not taught until about halfway through highschool, meaning age 16. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that they will be able to vote in about 2 years.

Typically high school students are between 14 and 18 years old. So the average high school student (assuming an equal number of students between years) is 16 years old. So approximately 50% of the student body will be eligible to vote in 2 years. Astronomy isn't one of the core sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science) taught in high school so more likely than not it's an elective - which are predominantly upperclassmen. So there's at least a 50% chance that in 2 years the student will be 18yrs old, though I would estimate it's closer to 75%. Either way, that's a pretty good chance, and it is a scary thought.

I was 12 when I started highschool and so do 90% of the students in surrounding schools. I also had astronomy sections in my 7th AND 8th grade years. Even if you wanna knock it down to 14-18 we had the elective in 9th grade so you can't cut it down to just upper classmen.

Again, high school is TYPICALLY 9th grade to 12th grade. Your school apparently combined junior high/middle school with high school. You apparently didn't follow my logic. I didn't ignore 9th and 10th grade, I said it was MORE LIKELY that such an elective would be taken as an upperclassman. Even if you don't take that into account, approximately 50% of high school students will be 18 in 2 years time if they aren't already.
