Thanks Mom
Today, my school sent me an email saying I would be transferred to another class this Monday. I told my mom about it. Turns out my drunk mom ran into my teacher at a bar and started berating her for being at the bar, instead of grading her “kid’s exam already.” I’m a high school senior. FML

Today, I was notified that I've been going to the wrong courses for 4 weeks. A friend of mine was the only person to tell me that the administration had taken the privilege to change my courses. I have now failed 5 courses due to absences and have been suspended from college for 6 months. FML

Not your day, is it?
Today, my mom kept swearing and punished me while I was in an online lesson. I almost got punished by the teacher as well. FML

Teenage riot
Today, I finally had it with the redneck bully who's been tormenting me. He was repeatedly poking and pinching me and laughing out loud during class, so I slung him to the ground, pinning him. I got suspended. They only called his parents, who never do anything; my "caring" parents are looking into teen boot camp. FML

Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML

Unfair
Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year-old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML

You'll understand when you're older
Today, my mom told me the night before our school trip that I’m not going so she could get a refund. Now I have to stay alone with my mom for a week, while my friends are having the time of their life in NYC. FML

Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML

As a parent, I'd be outraged that the school is wasting mine and everyone else's time just because a teacher's ego is bigger than their brain.

Your mom should straight refuse to do this. What a waste of time.

You know she can say "No" don't you.

There is NO WAY I'd do that if I was your mum. It's not like the teacher can force her, **** that.

I've never known anyone forced into this. My mom, however, requested to follow me for two days of classes. It was the finals and she was paranoid a bf would kidnap me. He threatened to take me to Mexico when she forced the breakup. I wouldn't have left with him, but she was freaking out.

forced breakups by parents are lame but judging by your exes' (i mean hopefully ex) reaction, your mom might have previously seen the psycho in him before this and had the right idea. sometimes a person can be so smitten by a significant other, they ignore any/all flaws. As such, I sympathize parents with dating children. But I digress, thanks for crazy but interesting anecdote. glad to know you were commandeered to Mexico. Not that I'd necessarily mind being there (as in Mexico. not being kidnapped) myself in present time. For ... reasons. lol.

I have never known a school system to do that. What the frick?

OP, what exactly did you say? Yeah, there are teachers that are pricks, but it's just as likely that "correcting my teacher" means "mouthing off for the eighth time in one day." No school would hand down a suspension for "Hey, you forgot x is supposed to be negative," and teachers generally don't have that authority on their own.

My teachers used to thank me for correcting their mistakes, I was never punished or seen as having an attitude for it.

Honestly, it likely depends on how the OP said it and what they corrected. They could have very well been mouthing off as well.

What kind of a school do you go to? If they asked my mom to do that she'd straight tell them to shove it and I'd be changing schools. You should go to the school board and talk to them about it. FYL

Makes no sense at all, calling bs on this one.

Today, in class a student of mine tried to correct me. His correction was not only wrong but so stupid his mom will now be present for an entire week cause she would not take my word for it how stupid my student her boy is. FML Seriously though. What did you claim and what did the teacher claim? Cause I have been on the internet enough and seen plenty of post similar where someone tried to sound smart and calling the other wrong when in the end they where wrong themselves. So I can not support your claim until we know a bit more details.

My HS did this but it was for a single day. Some parents refused outright. However the idea was the student would be so embarrassed and the parents so angry that it wouldn't happen again. It only happened twice for my class because other students didn't want to deal with an angry parent losing wages. But my school didn't have ego tripping teachers. So in school suspension was for something worthy of the punishment like cheating or cussing someone out.
