Today, I got the best grade in class on my economics midterm. Rather than tell me I did a good job, my professor criticized me in front of everyone about how I was working "too hard". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my English professor bragged to my entire class about how good my essay was. He kept on saying great things about it for the duration of class. To my surprise, he'd given me a C-. When I asked why, his only response was: "I'm a hard grader." FML
Today, I had my final economics exam, and needed to ace it, or else I would fail the entire module. After studying all day yesterday, and pulling an all-nighter today, I managed to pull it off and get a perfect score. Unfortunately, my teacher didn't believe that it was possible, and accused me of cheating. Now I may be thrown out of college. FML
Today, after turning in a paper that I worked really hard on, I got it back with a grade of 0. In the feedback section, my professor wrote: “In all my 37 years of teaching, this is by far the worst essay I have ever read.” FML
Today, I got my first university math midterm back. I did so bad that my teacher put a sadface on the first page. FML
Today, the grades for one of my courses were released. The class average was higher than that which the department allowed, so the professor had to scale everyone's marks down to meet the policy. I ended up failing because my class was too smart. FML
Today, I got a writing assignment back. After meeting with my professor specially after class and meticulously combing through every word of that paper, I got a low D. Turns out, he graded me down on every suggestion of his that I took. FML
Today, I got my grades back. I got a very poor evaluation for my lit class, which was odd because it didn't match the impression from my end-of-class meeting with the professor. It does, however, include a nod to the supposedly-anonymous negative class review I gave her, though. FML
Today, I got an Economics test back from my professor. I got a 17/20. I looked it over and noticed one of the questions was completely right. I checked the textbook he made and the answer was the same. I asked him why it was wrong, and he responded with, "I guess I changed my mind." FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I went to get my midterm essay grade thinking I couldn't have made lower than a B. Got to class and my douchebag professor gave me an F. He wrote "Best essay I read, would've been an A if it was the right topic." I wrote on the Industrial Revolution, instead of the Scientific Revolution. FML

And that is the reason why I'll never understand the way school works. P.S., He's probably jealous because he couldn't get those grades himself. Keep it up OP :)

Stop overachieving!

Why do so many people want to put down hard working people??? If this country wants to compete with other countries when it comes to education, then people need to help each other out. Like if one of your classmates said something dumb during a discussion then instead of mocking said classmate just explain it to them. I will never understand education in this country -_-

While I commend your work. Take pause, and ask yourself, are you working too hard?

See what happens when you overachieve, people hate you...an like i always say, if they don't hate you for it, you're not doing it right! Forget what they think and keep it up OP!

The only reason I can possibly see for the professor being upset about this is if OP is far and beyond what is being taught in class and knows they have to follow the lesson plan and feels there is no need to rush. There isn't just OP there is probably around 20 students and the prof ideally would like most to be on the same page.

How is this in the intimacy category?

It's okay, OP. Once while in high school I received the highest grade on a final out of all six of the classes that teacher taught. His idea was to photocopy my test (name and all) and hand a copy to every single student of his and then spend the classes tearing my test apart. It was horrific.

What the hell's up with that?

He was quirky. He ended up being my favorite teacher and I took more classes taught by him- but it was still a horrific moment that I still get embarrassed about years later.
