Today, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML
Today, I got a history project back that I worked very hard on. The teacher didn't bother to write any feedback, besides, "Did you even understand the assignment?" on the back. FML
Today, I got feedback on an essay I wrote, by my mum who is also a teacher. She said it was 'worse than most of her pupils'. She teaches 10-year-olds. I'm a 20-year-old student at university. FML
Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, my teacher gave me a 0% on my personal narrative in my writing class. His only comment on the whole paper was, "Too long, didn't read." FML
Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML
Today, I got a writing assignment back. After meeting with my professor specially after class and meticulously combing through every word of that paper, I got a low D. Turns out, he graded me down on every suggestion of his that I took. 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 received a terrible grade for an essay I worked really hard on. I had two friends, one being an English major, check it over. However, apparently I "clearly didn't use spellcheck" on this essay just like the last one I submitted to her. FML
Today, I got my grades back. I got a very poor evaluation for my lit class, which was odd because it didn't match the impression from my end-of-class meeting with the professor. It does, however, include a nod to the supposedly-anonymous negative class review I gave her, though. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe she wrote it that way to teach you a lesson in communication :-)

Those who can't, teach. Or how was it?

Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym.

Some teachers should've been doctors instead with their writing...

The English teacher had such bad handwriting op couldn't figure out what the feedback said. Usually the English teachers has nice and readable handwriting.

Here I thought the teacher was just making no sense with what she wrote. As in communication skills and not handwriting. They are two different criteria for grading handwritten essays after all.

I don't think it's ironic because English teachers should have nice handwriting, but rather that her writing made it hard to understand, thus she was not communicating clearly herself. That's just what I thought though.

I she would hate me. In dyslexic so I often switch letter around by accident but my school does not know in dyslexic.

Sounds like my history teacher a but ago.. She expected us to write with perfect everything when she couldn't do that herself.

Yea I know how you feel. I had an English teacher fail me because she accused me of plagiarism because of the big words that I used in my essay. She had no proof but it still pissed me off.
