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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Try to take this in the best possible way, OP, and keep learning. School BS ends with school; learning stays with you forever.

I had a professor back in med school who would make junior medical students give candies (sponsored by the dept of course) to residents and staff who show up late to work. The students would walk around in the ward and hand them out in front of the nurses, other students and physicians without mentioning why they were giving some people candies and not others. The department spent a whole lot of money on candies the first couple of weeks. Afterwards, the medical students just ate the candies as they got close to their expiration date since they weren't really having to give out any. So Pavlov rocks!

Hey, not everyone is book-smart. You are probably a lot smarter on certain topics then me.. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and unfortunately yours isn't school- cheer up, I'm sure you'll find something that you can outsmart anybody with one day :D

I despair. You couldn't fathom wanting to succeed in school to better your future and your prospects? But you'll study for sweeties..? Go to school, get a part time job, educate yourself, gain some work inspired ethics, and use your paycheques to buy your own ******* candy..

72- With that logic, people should enter careers only to better themselves, instead of entering a career to earn a paycheck. Motivation tools (like candy) are not harmful, and they do not take away from the ultimate goal of school, which is to learn and expand your horizons. I'm betting you have never worked in the educational field; sometimes you have to come up with "cheap" ways to get students motivated initially, so they can eventually realize their potential.
