Today, I was entertaining people during an extra curricular school function in order to help "brighten people's spirits in their time of need." After it was all over, I found out that my phone had been stolen. FML

Today, our teacher forgot to collect our phones when we arrived at school. We almost managed to take our phones back to the dormitory but someone's phone rang TWICE in the corridor and she remembered the whole thing. FML

Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML

Today, a student's parent yelled at me because they had to pay for school equipment their son had stolen from my desk. Apparently, it's my fault because the item was just too tempting for him not to steal. FML

"Find my phone" app.

How can she download an app if she doesn't have her phone?

You do it prior. Have you not heard of the app?

Most thieves these days are smart enough to turn off the phone right when they get ahold of it. Happened to my old iphone

You can still turn off the phone when it is locked.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I've loss of respect for teachers, but unfortunately most kids do not.. When i grew up in Russia, I was raised with a healthy fear and respect of authority, buy when my family came to the US, I was shocked that kids here spit all over their education and their educators too (sometimes literally). And the school system has severely limited ways of enforcing a teacher's authority in a classroom, virtually taking away any chance of controlling kid's behavior and protecting oneself from a group that doesn't yet really understand what's right and wrong. So for what its worth, I apologize for all of us kids and I hope you keep faith in humanity and be the best teacher you can be under circumstances.

Most teens have it on vibrate...and most adults don't so unless he or she turned down the volume or something in that essence it's easy to find...

18 - I'm curious where you came up with such a generalization? I teach high school and had to constantly remind students to put their phones on silent/vibrate. All the adults I know keep their phones on silent/vibrate because a)it's polite, b)it's more professional (not disturbing others in public/work) and c) they have to silence them so often for meetings, etc. they just don't other to turn the volume back on.

There are many ways to recover last or stolen phones, even if you didn't install an app before hand. I recently read an article talking about all the ways. it was posted on Lifehacker a few days ago.

Well hopefully whoever it is decides to be responsible and come forward, though if he/she was willing to steal from a teacher in the first place it doesn't sound like they have morals or manners unfortunately. GL finding the student who did it.
