Today, I received an email from an angry parent, demanding that I give his daughter an A on a project which I had given her a 0 on. The project was to pick an article related to science and to write an essay on it. Hers was a hoax article relating to Ebola patients rising from the dead. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got an A+ on a writing assignment. My teacher asked me three times if I really did write this article myself, and didn't memorise an article from the Internet. FML
Today, a fifth grader gave me a note from his "father" excusing him from PE. It was riddled with spelling errors and shockingly poor grammar, so I rejected it as a blatant fake. Several hours later, I was informed by his very angry father that it wasn't actually fake. FML
Today, I turned in an essay after staying up late to work on it. I was away when the teacher assigned it, so I'd asked my friend what the subject was. It transpires that she'd given me the wrong one, all because she was mad at me for not returning her pencil. FML
Today, I got a history project back that I worked very hard on. The teacher didn't bother to write any feedback, besides, "Did you even understand the assignment?" on the back. FML
Today, I got an F because I’m an idiot and wrote my essay on WW1 instead of WW2. I offered to resubmit a correct essay, but my mom stormed to school to demand it be changed to at least a B, because it was a good essay, even if it was on the wrong war. God, she’s impossible and embarrassing. FML
Today, I accused a student in my class of getting his dad to do his homework. It turns out that his dad died two years ago. FML
Today, my teacher read my story about a haunted house for a class assignment. She liked it very much and turned it in to the office to be sent into a state writing competition. An hour later, I was called to the office where the guidance counselor called my work "disturbing" and said I "need help". FML
Today, my classmate told me she can copy an article from the internet and hand that in, as long as she cites it at the end. FML
Today, I’m a high school teacher and I finally learned how to use the smartboard properly. I connected my laptop to demonstrate a lesson… and projected the last thing I had open: a half-written email complaining about how loud this exact class is. Thirty teenagers read it in silence. One kid raised his hand and said, “Fair.” FML
Today, my son came running in, saying he had a project due tomorrow. I asked when it was assigned; he said two weeks ago. I refused to help, saying that he failed to act responsibly and had to live with the consequences. Now he's throwing a tantrum and my wife is screaming at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's one thing to politely ask you to allow his daughter to redo the assigned work with a proper article, and it's another thing to "demand" a near-perfect score for nowhere near acceptable work...

It really amazes me how ignorant some people can be.

A zero is a little harsh, considering she did do something...

She did 0% of the assignment so she got 0% of the credit.

She's probably one of those who believe everything on iFunny

To everyone saying"well the student still wrote an essay they should get some credit" lets say you're a mechanic and I ask you to do an oil change. You give me a new transmission. Do I owe you anything? NO!!! Because you didn't do the work asked for. Neither did this dim bulb. She write an essay about some pseudo-science fiction, not a scientific article: which was the assignment.

It actually is not a fictional topic; the disease can send someone into a "coma-like" situation where the heart rate is slowed to a point where it is not detectable. When they awaken from this, it appears as if they are rising from the dead.

Thank you?

To be honest she did do her assigned work. She wrote an essay on an article that is related to science as it was on the topic of the ebola virus even if one of the symptoms were false it was still on a factual virus. Unless you read it over and marked it fairly (which you never since you gave it a zero) then you could be in serious trouble if the work was related to her grades.

It wasn't related to science though.

Related to science. Currently ebola is being scientifically studied by a wide range of people.

Science fiction does not equal science!

This actually is a thing. One of the effects of the Ebola virus is an almost coma-like occurrence. It sends your body into such a deep sleep that a heartbeat is almost unrecognizable. Taking into account the technology where this was discovered (Africa), it was reasonable for them to suspect such a thing. This is a real situation, just with a different explanation, and does in fact relate to science.
