Miscellaneous: Get out

Get out

By hackshack - 08/06/2012 19:45 - Brazil - Porto Alegre

Today, my English teacher kicked me out of class for being "rude and disruptive." In actuality, I had called her out for having blatantly used Google Translate for several example sentences, all of which sounded as if a semi-literate foreigner had constructed them. FML

Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML

Today, I got kicked out of English class shortly after our teacher told us we have to write an essay on how the storyline of Harry Potter is one big allegory for "the futility of socialism." Apparently, reacting with disbelief makes me a "disruptive influence." FML

Today, my English teacher told me that I failed my grammar test. Her exact words were "You ain't gonna pass this class if you ain't gonna study." FML

Today, my English teacher used the word "interpretate" again. This isn't the only mistake she's made though; I've been so frustrated that I've started a list of them. It's over a page long. I'm meant to be learning things from this woman. FML

Feedback

By fluent in two, unlike you - 25/03/2014 18:42 - Mexico

Today, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. FML

Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML

Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML

Underfunded and underappreciated

By lrn2spel, teach - this FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States - Mogadore

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

I'm pretty sure due to continuous downgrades eventually the only criteria for teaching will be completing an application form and having a "passion" for the job

Teachers should welcome student corrections. It shows that the student actually cares, and on the teacher's end, it promotes life-long learning.

Well To be fair this happened in a country that doesn't speak English as a primary language and in my experience those countries have pretty bad English teachers like once apparently according to the ukraine the word for sandwich in English is bread and butter

32, he can tell that google Translate did it because it sounded semi-literate... Also, google translate usually uses words that are similar but not exact, or homophones in the language translated from. Or even synonyms in the other language.
