Today, I chaperoned a school dance. A song I knew came on, and, wanting to be the fun teacher, I danced around a little. The students then pointed and laughed. I graduated in '87 and high school still hurts. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was chaperoning at my local high school's Homecoming dance. Outside the gym, I saw some kids drinking, so I walked over to stop them. One of them promptly spun around and punched me in the mouth. I had my ass handed to by a drunk 9th grader. FML
Today, in gym class, we were forced to learn the "Hoedown Throwdown" dance, by Miley Cyrus. This will actually be counted toward my grade. I'm in high school. FML
Today, I played in a high school concert. Some alumni of the band were sitting in the audience and were brought to tears. Not because it was beautiful, but because they were sad to see how much the music program had declined since they left. FML
Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML
Today, we had my school musical. The girls have to wear long skirts. I had a thong on, and while we were dancing the guy behind me stepped on my skirt. It fell to my ankles... the whole audience saw my ass. FML
Today, I recently graduated from high school and I went to a college party. I met these girls and told them I graduated college already, to sound cool. I then heard one of them say, "I went to middle school with you, and I was in your math class." FML
Today, they played Nickelback at our school dance. FML
Today, I went to my first ever party as a freshman, with friends from my dorm. There was a dance floor, and despite never having danced in public before, I put my best efforts into my dance moves… only to end up dislocating my knee. It's safe to say I won't be winning any dance contests anytime soon. FML
Today, I tripped in front of my graduation class of 225 and all of their relatives while receiving my diploma. FML
Today, I went to my little cousin's school to pick her up and it happened to be my old elementary school. I saw my old teacher and went up to say hi, and after a few minutes she goes "Aren't you the girl who's dad always came in drunk on parent's day?" Nice to know that's how I'm remembered. FML

Smile at them and ask if they'd prefer to be laughing in the office?

Sorry bro, but that's not what an honest teacher would do. She kinda put herself in this situation, no need to punish the pupils.

The Safety Dance lyrics come to mind.

Kids can be cruel, especially in high school. Hopefully you acted like you meant to be funny, op.

I say bravo for dancing to music you love; kids these days simply don't understand your body is the greatest instrument you'll ever use.. Unless you're fat - in which case a gym membership and a balanced diet will help you obtain the greatest instrument you'll ever use! Keep dancing, G!

Yeah, I think you forgot the part where they were POINTING and laughing. Maybe I'm wrong, but that sounds like they're laughing AT him.

Should have peed in the punch like you were thinking of doing.

I wonder how you manage as a teacher if you care about your students' opinion that much. Let's face it: the majority of them will never think of us as fun or cool. Being yourself is the only way to go, bad dance moves included. I don't think them laughing and pointing is that bad anyway. Usually students find it hilarious to see their teachers dance and especially if you're really bad at it you can be sure some of the laughers and pointers will appreciate you apparently not giving a shit what others think.

High schoolers these days are jerks- I've heard several brag about having made their teachers cry, and talk about making their parents cry. I think it's time we brought back corporal punishment. A lot of teens these days need some sense and respect knocked into them.

I hate it when people "try to be cool". My ex-drama teacher told us not to wear our costumes out of lessons, and she told us if someone asks you about your costume, not to say "*stereotypical gangster voice* Yeah, I'm wearing this for my part, *super deep voice* bruv". We live in middle/upper class suburbia :P. She was 100% serious :L.

What does that have to do with anything?

High school still hurts? Isn't the OP a teacher of that same high school? '87? Should have shown them your break dance moves. Back spins, popping and the worm are still cool! Unless if Frankie says Relax, don't do it.

I see what you did there! "When you want to go to it"
