Today, I accused a student in my class of getting his dad to do his homework. It turns out that his dad died two years ago. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks of the new school year. I got grilled in my first lesson by my teacher for "gallivanting around on holiday in some sunny place" when I should've been at school learning. My dad had died from liver cancer. FML
Asshat
Today, at school, some kid I’ve never liked came up to me and said, to my face, "I’m really happy to hear about your mom." She died two weeks ago. FML
Sorry…
Today, my English teacher asked me why I didn't have my project completed. Thinking quick on my feet, I told her it was because my grandmother had just passed away. Apparently they go to the same country club and have known each other for years. My teacher started crying and ran out of the room. FML
You never know
Today, I saw my teacher using her phone in the middle of class, so to joke around with her, seeing as we're on pretty good terms, I said: "Using your phone in class? For shame." She looks me in the eyes and says, "Would it be OK if I told you I'm arranging my father's funeral?" FML
Today, my professor's son died in a car accident and class has been cancelled until further notice. All my friends were delighted and cheered about it in front of me. I was dating my professor's son. FML
A teacher's burden
Today, a parent came into my class and told one of my 6 year-old students that their grandma died. Then the parent left. The kid started crying from the news, which then got all the other students crying. I spent the rest of the day comforting a class of kids crying over someone else's grandma. FML
Breaking!
Today, I sent an email to my professor requesting an extension for my assignment, using the tired old excuse that my "grandmother died." Instead, I sent it to my grandmother, who then called my dad on my family's landline in tears. FML
Foot, meet mouth
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, my teacher announced that he'd be out for a week because he was going to Vegas. I happily said, "Woo hoo!" Then he finished his sentence by telling me it was because his dad had died. FML
Today, I was texting a friend of mine. She mentioned it was her dad's birthday. I typed, "Tell him 'Happy Birthday' from me!" and as I pressed send, I remembered her dad was dead. FML

A little bit mean

That was very tactless you stupid teacher!

I ******* hate scumbag teachers like that. It's as if they find it difficult to believe young people can be more intelligent than them. It's not just mean, it's ridiculous and it's teachers like that that make even good kids hate school. There should be a requirement for personality and psyche tests to become a teacher.

#36 , Zenna Atkins prompted fury among heads by claiming that a bad teacher helped children learn how to 'manage' people who are not good at their jobs. Zenna Atkins is the CEO of Ofsted, a company which regulates teaching standards in schools. But ofcourse it's complete BS because students can't do things to teachers that they can to the office moron, so it just ends up screwing the childs results. Luckily the muppet in my school taught the lessons I didn't pick.

-53 I got a yellow card and detention for a week when I was in primary school. My "crime"? I was tying my shoes during lunch. So many teachers are asshats.

Not really that wild...

51 what do you mean. Evidently there was no backup to her theory

My mother is a teacher and, on many occasions, she has had students turn in horrible papers and things like that all year long, but then, miraculously, the student will turn in something written in a completely different style than most of their other work. It's not too hard to believe that that student plagiarized something or convinced a family member to do it for them when they randomly start writing at a college level.
bioboy725 10
Sorry about the rant.
Ecklcakes 15
Why are some teachers stupid? You don't ever accuse your pupils of getting someone else to do it - you ******* ask them!
videokid2000 10
#97 Yeah, then they might lie about it. :P
Jirekianu2 19
And if they lie what difference will an accusation make?
ShawnzieNstuff 6
If you ask the student if someone else wrote their paper for them it's basically the same as accusing them.

YDI. What even led you to believe that his father did his homework?

I noticed that everytime someone does something good for once... They get assumed.

@11 - shuddup u moron. u dont even no what IRINY *** meens! I justk ill u. *trollface* :7

It's spelled irony you jackass. Don't go off on someone for not knowing a literal definition when you can't even spell the word right. Also, there was a whole lot of irony in that situation, so I have no idea what you thought he was talking about. But you sir, are incorrect.

14 - This is a whole new level of irony.

i'm pretty sure that 4 was only being sarcastic. i mean, i hope.

And I quote the last part of my comment: "*trollface* :7" Lighten up.

Holy **** 14, I just woke up and I'm bombarded with that shit.

I just want to know why everyone is mad at the teacher. People get their parents to do their homework for them all the time, and it's pretty easy to catch when a student turns in some work they got somone else to do.
tweetbaby14 18
88, do not try and generalize. I have never asked a family member to do my school work. If I don't know what I'm doing, I either ask for help or I don't do it at all.
iamyummylicious 14
It's funny because I was just kidding. However, I am very happy that my comment received 50 thumbs down. It's a best.

Generally if you have to explain that something was just a joke... It wasn't a very good joke.
iamyummylicious 14
Its funny though because despite explaining it in the last part of my comment I said I was just kidding. However, people still took my comment as serious. A bit dense there.

This level of irony is so ironic it's like chronic.
Nat52482 25
If the student is like a straight C Kid but suddenly turns in something of A quality. That's when you get suspicious.
Roley4498 14
Probably his mother then
RahmEsHestos 5
I don't think OP was about to suggest that after what had just happened though.
darcimckeown 3
maybe the kid's just smart.
GothicAngel17 24
You must be a scumbag teacher, too.
GothicAngel17 24
Pshh, guys, I meant because of the instant accusation that his mother must have done his homework. What if she's dead too?
Roley4498 14
Father :)

Lol how do you even come to this conclusion.
yahoowizard 16
Cross referenced fingerprints, ofc. Teachers don't come to biased conclusions, do they now?
RahmEsHestos 5
You couldn't really have known if his dad was dead, but next time be a little more careful and at least generalize with "parents"
GothicAngel17 24
Or, to be on the safe side, OP could have said "someone else".

Why insist it was the dad? Take Harvard Implicit Tests online, find out why your gender sensitivity is out of whack.

Well let's face it, if it was math or shop or something like that there is no way it could have been his mom that helped.
