Today, I had to explain to one of my high school students that the importance of Pearl Harbor was not, in fact, because the Japanese stole the US pearl supply. FML

It seems that you have a lot of teaching to do.

What if the student was an exchange student?

*Students

How is it "students"? There is one student, who may be an exchange student; one student cannot be "exchange students".

No 28 the FML says students. DUH. That what 39 was trying to tell you. Try reading.

Oops I meant 30.

Actually, it says "ONE OF my high school students".
Nick_Cage5678 3
Oops seems I misread. Oh well.

Be thankful it was only one student, otherwise the whole "lost faith in humanity" hammer would've been brought down.

Unfortunately number 1 some people are just that ignorant.

#28 I don't think being an exchange student is an excuse.

Being a foreign exchange student is not an excuse, that's like saying an American student shouldn't be expected to know about the German invasion of Poland just because it obviously didn't take place in America.

Agreed #2 and OP at least they knew it was between Japan and the U.S. Haha

little *BOY. Jeez Stormfront, you do know very little about historic US military operations despite being a wannabe service member.

25, what would that have to do with anything?

The atomic bomb names. Fat Man and Little Boy.

Thank god someone besides me got those references... Forget OPs student you guys need to brush up on your history...

Don't stoop to that level, #75. Accept criticism with grace. He ruined his own comment when he couldn't remember the bomb names.

Oh I know what "MOS" stands for. "Modicum of Service" that you haven't ever provided.
\ 28
Well you're a disgrace to all active, reserved, and retired servicemen. Never before have I met a member of ANY branch of the military as big-headed and arrogant as you are. Not to mention cocky.

Seize the opportunity OP, and educate those teens!

They already do that on a daily basis though #3! I mean, OP IS a teacher!
chevygirl23 17
Looks like you have some work to do with them! Good luck OP.

Shame on their previous teachers.
jazzy_123 20
shame on the students! Pearl harbor is an event that is literally discussed every school year after they start middle school.
ashsaunde 13
That's not necessarily true. I was never taught about Pearl Harbor in school or several other major history events. The only reason I've learned about them is because my dad is a huge history buff.
accioshannon 17
Well, yes, that student didn't know because they weren't educated! You educated them! They're now slightly less stupid. Good job, OP.
dvojplisen 25
No, they are exactly same stupid idiots like before, just with little more knowledge.
KillSwitch96 18
Dear #86, The sentence should read: No, they are *the exact same* stupid idiots *as* before. They just have a little bit more knowledge. If you're going to insult people, at least make sure your grammar is accurate before doing so.

elephantsarecute 16
It says high school students in the FML.
Chris9616 12
Oh....sorry missed that....only human guys made a mistake
krupa1017 18
Regardless of the grade, it's one of the most famous (unfortunate) events in American history. You should know about it.

Infamous

16- It's fine, it's easy to miss a word or two when you're reading casually. 17- You have to learn everything about history for a first time, so if the students were in a lower grade they may have not learned about Pearl Harbor yet.

Calling the United States of America Murica* is easily one of the stupidest ******* things that has gained fame on the internet.
