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?

I've made the same mistake once or twice. I don't understand why, I know the difference between the two, I just do. Especially when I am writing and/or typing fast. It has nothing to do with intelligence; it's just a silly mistake. Your/You're is the reason why I spell out "you are" when writing in pen or pencil.

It's just a simple mistake, we are humans we are not perfect. Hell even computers make mistakes. Why do we beat ourselves up over mistakes? Yes it was a mistake, sound like an absent minded mistake at that. Good thing the student was paying attention. Praise the student, say "good catch", and move on. There are more important things to worry about.

Eh...don't worry about it. Kids love to correct their teachers; it makes them feel important. (Yes, I happen to be a teacher-correcting kid.)

To everyone saying what a prick the kid who pointed it out is: Are you completely out of your mind? What if it was an elementary school? It happens when teachers make mistakes, but if there's a mistake on the board and someone realizes it, of course it should be corrected. How else will the kids learn to spell? It's just like if you're in college and your math prof. messes up an equation or something (which happens) and you notice it, you always point it out. Not because you want to be a wise ass, but because it can and WILL confuse other students who are having more trouble following. You're taking for granted the fact that everyone in that class knew it was a mistake, which can easily not be the case, looking at how bad people's spelling is these days, especially when it comes to kids.
