Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in the senior class I teach, I asked my students who had traveled outside of the country, excluding Canada and Mexico. One student raised his hand and proudly stated, "Arizona". He wants to be a doctor. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, I was giving an anti-drugs speech to a group of ninth graders. I got onto the topic of trafficking from problem countries and asked a student to point out Mexico City on a map. He hesitated a few seconds before pointing at Canada. What the hell has the education system come to? FML
Today, some people in my class here in New Zealand found out that I'm from Canada, then spent the rest of the period asking if I had a pet moose and whether or not I lived in an igloo. They were completely genuine questions. FML
Today, I actually had to explain to two of my friends that neither Alaska nor Nebraska are in Canada. I think I need new friends. FML
Today, I got a call from an angry parent telling me that I'm teaching her son and the other children in the class "wrong philosophies". This was all because I explained to the class that Michigan is divided into two parts. FML
Today, I heard a teenage boy ask his friend, "So, is it, like, November in Australia too?" This is the future of America. FML
Today, during a lecture, my teacher jokingly talked about the time he was best buds with George Washington. Another student then asked, "Really? You knew him?" I'm in an advanced placement U.S. history class. FML
Today, my best friend called me a moron for disputing her belief that Canada is in South America. FML
Today, as two of my students walked into my classroom, I said, "Hi, ladies". One of them screamed at me: "Did you just assume my gender?!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And it didn't cross your mind to explain it? I mean please share your name and what school you teach at so that no one else will place kids in your stupid class. You're part of the problem, if you must know.

You should be more ashamed of yourself than them. They're 11, and in America. Most American teachers suck, and are usually the bottom of their college classes... So, make up for the difference by trying harder. Those poor kids need your help. Social studies is a boring class that no one cares to take. Make it interesting, and call people out for their stupidity. You can do this by calling out test scores, and by praising the A/B students once a week, and telling the C students to up their study time. Any student that isn't mentioned, will obviously have a low mark, and will be embarrassed
