Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, in class I was teaching 6 year olds about the difference between short and tall, and I asked them how they could see that I was shorter than the other teacher. One of them raised their hand and said it was because I'm fatter. FML
Today, I’m a middle-school teacher. Handing back graded essays, only to realize halfway through that I’d left my personal notes visible on the projector. One said, “Great kid, but talks like a podcast on 1.5x speed.” The student read it out loud before I could close the tab. FML
Today, in the class I'm teaching, I assigned my students an essay to complete for homework. One student asked me if I was deducting points for bad spelling. I teach English. FML
Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher. FML
Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML
Today, I’m a high school teacher and I finally learned how to use the smartboard properly. I connected my laptop to demonstrate a lesson… and projected the last thing I had open: a half-written email complaining about how loud this exact class is. Thirty teenagers read it in silence. One kid raised his hand and said, “Fair.” FML
Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher; I've already given students detention for falling asleep in class this year. FML
Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML
Today, I got to take my 10-year-old son to the junior high school at which I teach. When my students questioned him about what I was like at home, he told the entire class: "Well, she farts all the time." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How descriptive should second graders be?! Aren't they just learning to spell and write?

Well don't ask a kid something if you don't want a truthful answer.

Kind of agree. Did you not know you were fat and grey, at least, by a kid's standards? My kids think my teen-aged friends are old and anyone with non-visible bones is fat, including my friend the personal trainer with muscles stacked on top of each other.

It's not that hard to spell "taught". You make it sound like it's a really hard word to spell.

39, younger kid's spelling these days is horrible. I'm fourteen, and I bet there's a few kids in my grade who couldn't spell "taught."

how old was the kid in that video anyway? I wasn't really paying attention when I saw it.

Shh, darkmis, we're on FML. These people can barely spell fat, never mind the whole gray/grey controversy!

I hated that. I use to get marked wrong all the time in spelling tests because I spelled (spelt) things the Brittish way instead of the American way. I still have a bit of a chip on my shoulder because of it.

If you're that pissy about it, darkmiss, you can have a gold star, too. Not all kids that age can spell words that do not look like they sound. As IrishJane pointed out, some adults have the same problem. Would've does not equal "would of". RedPill, same here! I try to remember to spell things the American way but I slip up quite often when I type quickly. Ah, well. Those that matter don't mind and those that mind don't matter.

Clearly you're a great teacher. You'd be even better if you could spell 'grey' correctly :p

You can spell it either way

You ignorant Europeans should be more open minded and realize you're not the only people out there. It can be spelled gray in the USA. However, if you are an American you're just an idiot. FYI I only said that because I find it hypocritical that people will call Americans ignorant for not knowing something simple and then when they make a mistake they just sit there like it's not their fault.
