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

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.

Um, why in the hell were you on your cell phone while doing student observation? How unprofessional can you be? School rules don't only apply to students, you know. If you have any hope of becoming a teacher, try to grow a brain, act professionally, set a good example, and follow the freaking rules. If a student teacher or student observer ever pulled something like that in MY classroom, I would certainly include it in my evaluation of them.

What grade do you teach? Oh, and love the name. Shiny.

I currently teach adult education, but I have also taught third grade. Also, you're the first person to catch on to the name. No "Special Hell" for you! :)

That sorta happend with my sister and I. she had come by my school a good few years back to give me my lunch, but she came really late because she got caught up with something, and so we ended up having lunch together (while classes had already started) one of the teachers then came out and yelled at both of us for not being in class, my sister is 14 years older than i am, so the teacher was def embarassed once she realized that that was my sister, and that she was much too old to attend the school.

NotInMiddleSchool how is this a FML? She thinks your young. You should take that as a compliment. Knowing how you girls are with age, you should be happy they think your young. Or would you rather have the teacher think your old and take you for one of the child's great grandmother? :P

I just did a student teaching prac and so many times, teachers or helping parents would say 'oh! I thought you were one of the students!' even though I was not in school uniform colours at all...

More likely it rang, or she pulled it out and started texting on it.
