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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

What a rude a teacher. I work in education, and I hate seeing things like this. I've worked with so many students who hate school, due to teachers who act like this.

I just reread my comment, and realized how often I said "like this". Woops.

Your teacher is clearly a fucknut... He/she should be encouraging you, not making a scene when you've succeeded

Exactly! If I was OP I'd be nervous about every speaking up in class again. Surely a teacher is supposed to be inspiring and encouraging, not mocking and patronising?!

A lot of people don't realize how utterly frustrating it is attempting to teach young minds who refuse to be taught. They just stare at you despondently, and you can practically see them cursing you silently. When a student actually knows the answer, it makes the day just a bit brighter.

28- While your point is valid, a lot of teachers don't realize how badly reactions such as this can affect the student. When I was an advisor for an online high school, many students told me how stupid their previous teachers made them feel, because they were treated in ways similar to this situation. It's a two way street when it comes to education.
