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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML
Today, while grading my kindergarteners' spelling tests, one kid spelled all the words wrong, including his name. 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 accidentally called my teacher "Babe." FML
Today, it was the last day of school, and I said goodbye to one of my students. She then told me how to correctly pronounce her name. I'd said it wrong all year. FML
Today, one of my students corrected the problem I had solved on the board, explaining that you do multiplication before subtraction. I teach the second grade. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Today, while my teacher was in the middle of a lecture, I accidentally made it so my laptop would display everything upside down. It took me the rest of class to get it right side up again. FML
Today, I walked into the wrong classroom, sat down, took notes for ten minutes, and only realized my mistake when the professor asked me to introduce myself and explain why I was there. I wasn’t even enrolled in the class. FML
Today, I was teaching a ten year old how to play piano. Halfway through the lesson, she made a minor mistake, which, trying to be a good tutor, I corrected her. She smiled up at me, paused, then slammed the key cover down onto my fingers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

On the PLUS side, at least they noticed. No one in my graduating class would have. You're teaching a smarter group than I was in =)

my math teacher is so stupid that usually when she tells someone something is correct i have to redo it to make sure that the teacher did it correct because as i am wrong sometimes, she is usually wrong 90% of the time. also your not the only teacher who made a simple spelling mistake. my english teacher makes mistakes all the time, and she is a very smart person. but she gives way to much work :(

Awww, you remind me of every English teacher whose spelling I've corrected throughout the years. The pathetic sense of self-satisfaction it gave me almost makes me miss school... On a related subject, I once had an English teacher ask me if there was a hyphen in "self-confidence." Mind you, I'd never had this teacher before for a class, so I have no idea how he knew to ask me.

Already an FML, except it was about a substitute teacher. Dirty thief.
