Today, I ran into my favorite teacher from high school, the one that really inspired me to become one myself. I told her that I'm in my last year of college preparing to become a teacher, to which she replied, "Wow, they really are letting anyone have a crack at being a teacher these days." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was the last day of school. My students shared what they thought of me. Expecting to hear wonderful things, all of their complaints can be summed up in a few words: I'm a liar, a killer of dreams, I need to grow up, and I was a big disappointment to them. I'm a first-year teacher. FML
Today, I, a person who has graduated high school, encountered one of my high school teachers in public. The one known for her rampant ableism against me and tendency to get heated when people don't respond immediately to her when she talks. I've had horrible social anxiety for several years. Do the math. FML
Today, I ran into one of my teachers from high school. When I told her I'd just recently graduated college and was starting graduate school in the fall, she said, "You don't have to lie, some people just aren't cut out for college. There's no shame." I wasn't lying, I graduated with honors too. FML
Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML
Today, my mom was named principal of the school I go to. FML
Today, my teacher walked into class and said, "Look to your left and right, one of those persons you just looked at will fail the upcoming exam." When asked why, she said too many people passed last year's exam. She was dead serious. FML
Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML
Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML
Today, I saw my former high school teacher at the mall. After a nice conversation, she mentioned that I "still dress like a slut." FML
Today, I started my new job as a teacher. Worried about how I looked, I asked a coworker if I looked okay. She said, "You look fine. Just like a normal high school kid." I spent the next half hour convincing her that I was not a student, but a teacher. FML

Maybe she should be more grateful that people want to become teachers and help our children instead of being a Bitch about it.

Just don't end up a pompous liar like her . Am sure you wont' allow her lack of integrity to affect you . She doesn't deserve it .

Is it possible she was joking? I feel like not many people would say that in a serious tone. After all, while great teachers are rare, most teachers are a dime a dozen, and it doesn't take much to become one...

Your response: Yes, and you showed me that ANYONE could become a teacher. Seriously though, it sounds like she might have been joking.

It was rude, but you have to keep in mind they may have been going by how they knew you back then. Being a great student is one thing, but even knowing the material a lot of people can't teach something. Rude yes, but try to separate personal and professional opinion. Congrats though on pursuing your dream.

I would have pointed straight at her and said, "prime example." What a bitch.

Bitch hasn't evolved with the changes in education. Continue on your journey but be advised, the first year will make or break you and determine if you are cut out to be a teacher.
