Today, I finally realized how stupid I am, when I answered a question correctly in class and my teacher started clapping and cheering. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML
Today, my math TA showed the class how one of her "dumb" students answered a test question. Everyone laughed as she wrote out the students answer, including myself, until I looked down at my answer sheet and saw that I submitted an identical answer. FML
Today, in calculus, our substitute teacher told me I was smart. Everybody in the class, including my friends, burst out laughing. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I worked up the courage to ask a question in a packed lecture hall. The professor repeated my question, except he'd misheard me and rephrased it into something wildly incorrect. The class laughed. Instead of correcting him, I nodded. Now half the class thinks I don’t understand the difference between correlation and causation. FML
Today, I went to attend my summer school class again after being out sick for a week. When I said "Here" during roll call, everyone started cheering and clapping. Apparently, my professor has been badmouthing me while I've been absent for pretending to be sick. I'm sure my grade will be fantastic. FML
Today, my biology teacher asked the class a question, so I raised my hand and after I gave my answer, my teacher said, "You know, you have a voice for radio. It's very deep." I replied with "Do I? Thanks!" He added, "You also have the face for radio." The whole class laughed. FML
Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML
Today, we were taking a bio quiz and I understood the subject, so the people sitting behind me asked me to help them out. Being a kind fellow classmate, I did. When the teacher got suspicious, she asked the class, "How are all of you getting the same answers?" everyone pointed directly at me. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It might just be the entire class that is stupid. I know I basically jump for joy when one of my students act intelligently.

Hey don't worry about it! Everyone has their days!
xlord 27
Did you even read the FML?

I think 1 meant everyone has their days when they feel stupid... Which isn't totally true but makes more sense

That doesnt make you stupid! Hopefully you just might not be good at that subject or you're quiet (so when you do answer questions its few and far between)? Maybe?

46- these are replies, not comments. Also, you meant 31, not 36.

46- oh theres a rule? -_- didnt think so
laden_swallow09 35
Is it a life rule to not act like an arrogant bitch to everyone when you're wrong? Didn't think so. It SHOULD be common courtesy to keep immediately relevant posts to it's respective thread, and make an entirely different thread when it's not intended to contribute to a post that already exists. But you wouldn't know anything about courtesy, would you?

Every time the teacher finishes a problem just start cheering and clapping. "She finished another problem!! Wow!"

You look so dumb right now.

Don't tell me you're sorry cuz you're not

You should tell your teacher how she made you feel. I admit some students just don't try to learn, but a teacher should not be making you feel inadequate for learning. It's more likely to discourage students from wanting to come back to school.

Baby your only sorry you got caught!

If you're going to make a face, keep it on your face. Since this isn't a chat room, there's no reason for you to share it.

What? She cant be happy for you?

The teacher is obviously not being so sarcastic it hurts and it definitely doesn't seem like he/she is trying to humiliate OP by cheering and clapping.
unknown_user5566 27
Beat me to it, Skoomaki. If the teacher was sincerely happy for OP she would have told her that she was impressed with her progress, not make a scene in the middle of class.
Warden1986 16
Sounds like an immature teacher to me. Perhaps she's need to go back to college, and learn public relations again.
buck33 14
I have a teacher who does this to me. I mess around in his class a lot and enjoy annoying him. He is very sarcastic with me and likes to mess with me, too. This may be the case, but I doubt it.

53- But English isn't their first language. My theory is that their first language is a mixture of sign language and complicated blinking.

Actually, he's a sleeping bear which morphs into a were-alien in the moonlight. Obviously.

No. He just took a picture of me and used it as his profile pic.

Awww wait to go op!!'n

6- For some reason your comment made me think of the asshole teachers who would always tell students to wait to go to the bathroom in the middle of class, with no real reason for making the student wait. Or the teachers who, after being asked "can I go to the bathroom", would reply with "I don't know, CAN you?"
KiddNYC1O 22
That's when I say "okay... MAY I?... Bitch(under breath)"
unknown_user5566 27
61- I remember once I hit about 4th grade, I would just stand there and stare at them awkwardly until they let me go to the bathroom.

I used to eventually pee on myself. Lol no just kidding but it was damn close!

You're a teacher and therefore at the very least partially responsible for educating and improving your students, you claim it is astonishing when a single one of your students behaves with even slight intelligence. Okay, now let's consider the facts, whose fault is this likely to be, even partially....?
thelinlinx3 10
64 obviously had bad experiences with teachers. While I believe teachers are held with some responsibility for the education of students, some students really just don't pay attention, don't give a **** about education and fail because they fail to pay attention in class. Hate when students victimize themselves for lack of a "better" teacher...
your_ma 27
No I have a degree actually. I just remember teachers who inspired and impressed us by treating us all with the same level of respect and enthusiasm and giving extra help to those who needed it. I also remember teachers who were there for the paycheque and nothing more. OP's teacher seems to fall into that category, as does any other teacher who claims all students are stupid and unsusceptible to attempts at education..

Honestly, I feel sorry for the teachers at my school. They're forced to deal with so much immaturity. You deserve a slow clap...

I'm sure you're more ignorant than you are stupid. Ignorant is fixable - stupid is permanent. Start pushing yourself a bit more and I'm sure you'll get there. Edit: By "get there" I meant get less ignorant. Not get stupid. >.>

Well corrected, sir =p
nevershoutkendal_fml 11
Well, not everyone can be right all the time. If you're struggling in that subject, try getting a tutor.

If you're like me and have ADD and dyscalculia, tutors don't really help. And medication is hard to afford these days.
JAB2010 1
No one is ever right 100% of the time, but it doesn't sound like OP is even close to being correct that often.. :)

48- Is it ironic that I read dyscalculia as dyslexia at first?
