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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

The best bit is that the OP is named englishfail, and is from the US. How appropriate.

This isn't a very good FML. It's not that embarassing. Many of my teachers from highschool were very bad spellers and the class would constantly correct them. So the fact that this embarassed you, tells us you're a very sad person, who lets any little thing bother them.

Does it really matter? I've been corrected A lot of times by my students, and well I just continue with the lesson.

The only people that ever have rants about 'Grammar Nazis' are probably the guys that completely fail to grasp grammar in the first place. Seriously, it's not hard to get this stuff right; just because it quite rightly annoys some people when you can't do the simplest things correctly doesn't mean they're some crazy weirdo who locks themselves in their room all day on the computer in the dark who goes hunting for this stuff. You should know these rules by the time you're about eight..

#8 I don't know where you come from, but in most places, classes aren't taught by "kids".
