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

Doesn't mean you were wrong about him cheating.

I hope you have been a teacher for a long time because if not you may find yourself unemployed soon. I hate teachers like you that penalize kids for being smart. Do know it is teachers like you that make kids hate school more than anything else about it?

I had to respond to this because my son was always in trouble at school. I met with teachers and principals several times and they kept telling me your son is so smart he gets in trouble for trying to take class discussions above we're they should be at his level. It would make me so mad because he was in trouble at school for being smart and the worst part was that the teachers were admitting it. Because of the way the system works our hands were pretty much tied so we finally had to tell him in class discussions just keep your mouth closed because they were threatening to send him to alternative school. Not fair at all to children and teenagers that function at a higher level. When he was in younger grades two or three of his teachers were trying to get him to skip a grade but the school would not do it. So now, yet another kid with an incredible mind hates school.

You must feel like an ass. This is why you don't accuse people so quickly. What kind of teacher are you?

Even this it's wrong and he's a jerk for accusing and shit like that but you kinda gotta think it was an accident.

I hated teachers like that. Always asuming shit, then not apologizing when they are wrong.

That's what my tech teacher is like. I can't even say "okay" without her accusing me of saying "a snide unnecessary comment" and trying to kick me out of tech.

Maybe the kid conducts seances and his dad does his homework from beyond the grave. Some ghosts have nothing better to do. On the other hand, why did the OP specify the dad as the partner in crime? It could have been the mom, mom's new boyfriend (who may have had a hand in dad's demise ;) ), an aunt, uncle, cousin or older sibling. Or maybe the nice volunteer tutor who drives that white, windowless van in which non-cash payments are extracted ;)

...and that could stuff the kid's learning up majorly.
