Today, while joking with my coworkers about how I shouldn't be trusted with a stapler because I managed to accidentally staple my finger last week, I stapled another finger. FML

Today, I accidentally stapled my finger to a piece of paper. It hurt, but I took it out and went to restaple it. I did it again. FML

Today, as part of my job as a performer, I had to show off my skills with a switchblade in front of an audience. A kid shot a rubber band at me. I then needed stitches. FML

Today, I was warning a girl in my art class to be careful with a Stanley knife, as she had managed to cut her finger quite badly. Just as I said it, I sliced my finger open with a Stanley knife. FML

Today, my bra burst apart in the middle of class. I then had the privilege of asking my male teacher if I could borrow his stapler to put it back together. FML

Today, at work teaching a cooking class, one of the kids asked if they could use a knife to help me chop vegetables. I said no, because it was very sharp and only staff members are allowed to use them. Just as I said that, the knife sliced through the tip of my thumb. FML

You are teaching children, and yet can't spell "kindergartner?" This is why I fear for our youth.

I think you meant kindergarten, not kindergartner, 14. Also, kindergarden is the accepted term in Mexico. So if OP is from anywhere else, then it's wrong.

#27, that's just ******-up Spanglish. The year in school before first grade is "kindergarten" (literally, the children's garden in German) and the kids are "kindergarteners." When you seek to teach, get it right before you explain it to everyone else, otherwise you're going to end up pregnant with staple wounds.

Dear #30. Would you, in plain English, call in a preschool class or preschooler class?

You didn't spell it correctly either Einstein. *Kindergartener*

no I doubt anyone would call a kindergartner a preschooler because preschoolers go to preschool not kindergarten

Kids go to kindergarten before school. In that sense I think they can be considered PREschool.

No. They are not preschoolers! There is Pre-K, Head-Start, Preschool, Kindergarten, T-1, then 1st grade. Preschoolers are the children about to go into Kindergarten. Not the kids who are already in Kindergarten.

I always had infant care, preschool (age 3), pre-K (age 4), kindergarten (age 5), then 1st grade and on. No head-start or whatever where I lived.

I had 2 years of preschool which could also be called pre-k. Then kindergarten. Then first grade. None of that other shit. And preschool and pre-k were the same and there were 2 years of that

I bet their parents were real happy with the new words you taught their kids when that happened.

Why are you showing kindergardners how to use staplers? That's a bit dangerous and you seem to have proven it.

natural selection, that's why.

The horror!

I guess you are using the same teaching technique as the pregnant abstinence-only Sex Ed. teacher. It's certainly more entertaining than teachers who do everything right.

When you used "managed" it actually sounds like that's what you were aiming for.

My daughter is in kindergarten, so if you were her teacher she could teach you her first ever word, which I believe is the proper word to use in that situation. Let's see how many people get THAT old FML reference.
