Today, my social studies teacher thought it would be a great idea to have a casual debate about Margaret Thatcher and her legacy. Within 10 minutes, the entire class was yelling, screaming, throwing stuff at each other. I got hit in the face with a binder. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I was practicing my lines for theater class in the hall. My partner and I chose a script where we argue over me stealing her boyfriend. Since it started to sound like a real argument, another student said that I was a "crazy bitch" and punched me in the face. FML
Today, I got nominated to sit in a chair in the middle of the gym during a high school rally while the entire school got to throw paper balls at me. FML
Today, our school started an anti-bullying policy, and we watched a video about bullying. After the video, I told a teacher about a bullying case going on that I know about. His response? "Tell someone who cares!" as he walked away, chuckling. FML
Today, I taught a college course with a group of 30 adults. I was educating them on leadership and gave a 25 minute lecture, with examples like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, and how they changed the world. Then I opened the forum to see who inspired them. The response? Donald Trump. FML
Today, my mom had an appointment with my teacher after class. She never showed. My teacher ended up driving me home. FML
Today, I was dumped. I ran home and cried and ranted on and on to my mother. After about 10 minutes of talking, she threw a book at my face and said, "No wonder he dumped you! You can't shut up!" FML
Today, I opened up an English textbook to find someone else's dirty fingernails between the pages. FML
Today, I was in the toilet. Some idiots thought it was funny to throw a water balloon into the cubicle. The balloon didn't pop, but fell in the toilet, sending my own urine onto my shorts. I had 4 hours left of school. FML
Today, my band played for our school. We were cheered for and everything. Being the lead singer, I tried to look cool and push the mic away and pull it back by pushing down the bottom of the stand with my foot. It hit my face and I bled like crazy, but I kept singing. No one clapped at the end. FML
Today, my music students began a lively debate about whether or not a music stand would make a good weapon for the zombie apocalypse. What am I teaching them? FML

Jeez, can't at least wait until the corpse is cold to argue over her life?

Perhaps they were arguing about her real name? Harry Styles (1D) Tweeted condolences to "Baroness Thatcher" and someone compiled a pic of the fans' responses. Some idiot even said that her name was Market Thatcher. >_< It's so sad that in a world where technology is at our fingertips, many choose to remain ignorant. On a side note, I hope you're okay, OP.

On a positive note, Canadian schools seem to be teaching something if a whole class could get into a heated debate about a 1980s British prime minister. In America, they'd basically struggle to find Great Britain on a map or to name the current US president.

I assure you, every American student can name the current president. Where exactly are you getting your completely false generalizations?

Everyone looks at the worst from America, all the idiots are held to be the average citizen in other countries eyes. Yes, there are some people that can't find Great Britain on a map, but a majority can. Does everyone in Great Britain have the ability to point to the United States of America on a map? Finding some of something, in this example idiots, is not proof that the whole population is like that. It just means they exist. (Also why do people condemn other countries, not their own, for thinking things like the information that the other countries think every country should know, when those same people try to say that since it such an important part of their country's knowledge base it should be for everyone? It is wonderful hypocrisy.)

Also a "heated debate" does not mean an "informed debate." People that use the term heated debate often really mean arguing. Debates need logic, not just insults. For all we know, the OP's class became the real life equivalent of a Facebook political argument. (With both sides calling each other idiots for daring to think a certain way on a certain issue because it is just wrong and horrible to have the opposing view. Little to no facts are actually in these arguments either. More likely opinions and emotional outbursts are used as "proof.")

OP- You're lucky your teacher didn't include Reagan in the discussion.... that binder that hit you would have been a lacrosse stick!

Keep it down? Although I disagree with almost all her policies passionately, if Thatcher's family and friends actually respected her WISHES (to have a PRIVATE funeral) then yes I would keep my mouth shut, but since taxpayers are funding her extravagant funeral if I see a party I'll toot my horn whilst driving past.

This sounds like the way the English parliament does business in London lol

there is no English parliament. It's the UK parliament. Don't refer to England as the whole of the UK > . >
