Today, my English teacher kicked me out of class for being "rude and disruptive." In actuality, I had called her out for having blatantly used Google Translate for several example sentences, all of which sounded as if a semi-literate foreigner had constructed them. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML
Today, I got kicked out of English class shortly after our teacher told us we have to write an essay on how the storyline of Harry Potter is one big allegory for "the futility of socialism." Apparently, reacting with disbelief makes me a "disruptive influence." FML
Today, my English teacher told me that I failed my grammar test. Her exact words were "You ain't gonna pass this class if you ain't gonna study." FML
Today, my English teacher used the word "interpretate" again. This isn't the only mistake she's made though; I've been so frustrated that I've started a list of them. It's over a page long. I'm meant to be learning things from this woman. FML
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
Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. 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 had to explain to my teacher that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. She kicked me out of class when she found out I was right. FML
Today, my teacher yelled at me for using my phone in class. I apologized out loud, knowing that it would help me get off easier. She was yelling at somebody else. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Correcting a teacher always backfires, bad times!!

It actually doesn't bother me too much. It means my kids are paying attention and know some stuff. Then again my mistakes are usually "How do I spell this word again?" or typos. Nothing that makes me seem semi-literate.

18 - 12 didn't say anything about English and grammar that could possibly make that ironic. It's just a mistake. Plain and simple. 20 - it was clearly a typo. You know, when someone's hand happens to slip slightly to the left or right while typing, causing them to insert an incorrect letter. Not really worth pointing out if you can still tell what they're saying.

WOW. Let me say, I had a Spanish teacher like that. She wouldn't teach us and a bunch of kids were trash talking her on Facebook. So she ended up demanding a girl sign into Facebook to show her.. .. anyway, my teacher got onto the front page newspaper! :D For not teaching us anything! (Go look it up, Tampa Bay newspaper.)

They were probably offended for being called "semi-literate" from the people they were trying to teach. Hence the "get out of my room!"

My teacher doesn't mind being corrected. She says that she learns along with her students and sometimes the students are smarter than the teacher. Just saying..

My math teacher makes my class cookies when we catch her making mistakes 30 times

It's more terrible for some language pairs than for others. If you do English and French, it won't be publishable quality but it'll be good enough to get the gist of what's going on. If it's English and Japanese though, it'll be complete garbage.

Well we know who the teacher's favorite isn't...
