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

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

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.

FYL that you're training to be a teacher but you don't understand simple grammer.

Don't you just hate spelling words wrong when trying to put someone in their place?

haha wow that sucks! People also think I'm way younger than I am :| To make you feel better: It would also have sucked for the teacher that was yelling at you xD haha Can you imagine: Today, I started yelling at one of my 6th graders because she was using her cell phone in class and so I sent her to the office. Turns out she wasn't a 6th grader but a 21 year old college student who was observing the class. FML :D

Same thing happened to me when I was picking up my little sister. I graduated from that school about 4 years ago. =/

I got yelled at for skipping class when I was doing my student-teacher observations at a middle school.

Shouldn't the teacher have known beforehand that you'd be in the class?

YDI for not being able to make a complete sentence, despite being 21 years old and studying to be a teacher.

No kidding, this FML was worded so poorly, I was confused as I tried to figure out what was happening "As I was yelled at..." The OP should be embarrassed of herself.

Just admit it... you weren't observing anything. You were just texting and ignoring what you were supposed to be doing.

Seriously, YDI. I am currently doing my student teaching observations, and my professor made it very, VERY, clear that your cell phone or iPod does not belong on your person while you are at your placement. Leave them at home, lock them in your car, whatever works, but do NOT bring them into the classroom.
