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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the first day of school, I threw up on my teacher in the middle of class. FML
Today, I was teaching when I saw a student leave her chair and brazenly head for the door. I clapped her on the shoulder and said, "Going somewhere, miss?" She vomited all over my pants. FML
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the year. The first thing the teacher said was, "I hate this f*cking school." FML
Today, during one of my first days as a teacher, a student stole my phone. 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 was sitting in class when I overheard a group talking about how much they don't like me. When they saw me there, they burst out laughing. FML
Today, I was tutoring. When my kids were finally working on their own, I stood in my classroom’s doorway to talk to my boss sitting outside about upcoming work. Suddenly, one of my students sitting directly behind me let out the loudest fart ever. I think my boss heard and thought it was me. FML
Today, my teacher yelled at me for using my phone in class. I apologized out loud, knowing that it would help me get off easier. She was yelling at somebody else. FML
Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML

No need to worry, just make sure the next day you show you are in control so the students don't take you as a light weight.

Do you share a room or something? How does a teacher confuse someone else's class for her own?

I know how annoying it can be, I teach for a living myself except in the military I can make my students do stuff so they won't dare make a sound.

Why not correct her, and let her know it's your class?

That really sucks. I would have just yelled at her to leave. like after the first couple times wouldn't she get that it's not her class?

cheer up buter cup. try teaching a class of 19-38Y/O's They can be ruthless. Just keep telling yourself it's YOUR classroom and they are learning from YOU. The only difference is I could cuss my class out and make them do pushups if they didn't listen. Good luck OP. I'm sure you are a great teacher.

Take her to one side in the teachers' lounge and politely tell her that her behaviour was unacceptable. She was undermining your authority over your class and making you - not just herself - look stupid to the kids. You need those kids to respect you if you're going to get anywhere teaching. Don't be mean about it, but make it known that if she crosses that line again you'll be speaking to your superiors about her conduct.

Why did u let it happen, it's your class u should have straightened her out, u just lost the respect of your students and with that control of your class and your ability to teach them, u need to remedy the situation quickly, op

Talk to your superiors about what happened, ask for them to inform the other teacher of where her class is being held, hang a list of teachers with their class numbers and a map of the school on your door (incase others forget as well) and lock your door so you don't have anymore disruptions. I had teachers who would lock their door 5 min after class started and wouldn't unlock it until the end of class.
