Today, as I was yelled at by a middle school teacher in front of 30 6th graders for breaking the rule of "no cell phones in school." Luckily, I escaped being sent to the office after explaining I'm a 21 year old college student doing student teaching observations, not a middle schooler. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, at school, I got stuck in the elevator and was about to panic before I remembered I had my phone. I called my mother and she called the school to tell them that I was stuck. They got me out in a few minutes and then confiscated my phone and gave me two detentions for using it in school. FML
Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML
Today, at my job as a fourth grade teacher, I realized that most of my students have far nicer and more expensive phones than I can afford. FML
Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML
Today, I went to my job as an aide for first-grade students. I went home with a swollen face after my student punched me because I was, "making the timer go too fast" and he wanted more iPad time. 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, my friend's phone rang in class and my teacher thought it was me, so now I have detention for a week. FML
Today, I was escorted out of the building for getting in a scuffle at my anger management class. FML
Today, at school I was sitting with a friend outside, talking about irregular periods and unshaven legs. Ten minutes into the conversation, a teacher sticks her head out the window above us and tells us to leave. We were distracting a classroom who were trying to finish a test. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm glad you're getting your lessons in double standards and hypocrisy! I'll bet you smugly chew gum in class (and didn't bring enough for everyone!)

I know how you feel. I worked as a TA at my former HS for 4 months last fall and got escorted to the front desk for suspiciously walking around. I'm 23, had a scheduled appointment and they didn't believe that i wasn't a student.

Unless a bad event follows, it's not really, eh, "right" to put in "Luckily..." in an FML here... So how does this count? If the point is that she thinks you're in middle school... Then... She thinks you look young? ...Too young...

I think its called sarcasm, but I'm not too sure.

Uhm, I think the FML is for getting lectured, AND being mistaken for a middle-schooler at the same time..?

Still, I think a "So what?" is deserving of this FML.

haha, that type of stuff happens to me all of the time. I'm 23 and look 16. Get over it. Your life is not ****** for looking young.

I'm 14 and people think I'm 18 all the time. So many people ask me what college I'm going to, etc...

It's still really annoying. I'm 20 and people are constantly mistaking me for a 16 year old. It gets frustrating when people always ID you when you try to see an R-rated movie, or when cops stop you because they think you're violating curfew, or when you constantly get asked out by 16 year old guys, or when people keep asking you if you've lost your high school tour group on your college campus. I'm sure in about 10 years I'm going to be glad that I look younger than I am, but for now, it's an inconvenience.

You're gonna be wishing you still looked young later in life.

There's looking young, then looking like a 12/13/14/15 year old... o-o

LMFAO, that'd be so funny, I probably would have laughed at her for being so oblivious to the fact that you clearly weren't a student. This made me laugh, thanks for posting :)

Yeah... if you were doing observation, why were you messing with your phone anyways? I hope you were just checking the time on your phone, not texting or checking to see if you had any missed calls.

How is this an FML? Unless you're very easily offended when people mistake your age, this seems like it would it would fit better on MILA. Better yet, how'd this pass?

I think the FML is actually that the OP is going to college to be a teacher and she finally realized she's dumb as rocks because she can't write a complete sentence.

Well, a 6th grader wrote it, that explains a lot...

The rules still apply to you moron. Your certainly won't be a good teacher if you try to enforce rules that you yourself won't follow.

no kidding. the whole point of taking education and doing the student teaching is kind of for nothing if you're not even going to ******* pay attention.

I'm going into teaching and had observation hours to do as well. Maybe you should keep it professional and leave your cell phone out of site.

Maybe you should learn about homophones before trying to teach other people's children.
