Today, I tried to explain to my history teacher why Woodrow Wilson would not have called the Great War "World War 1" as she constantly claims. I was sent to the office for my insubordination. 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 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, in history class I was called "ignorant" and "inconsiderate" because I referred to Stalin as a "he". FML
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today, I had to explain to my teacher that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. She kicked me out of class when she found out I was right. FML
Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them". FML
Today, I got in trouble with my boss for doing what she wanted me to do. I guess she didn't think I would do it, so she did it herself. FML
Today, my so-called friend snitched to the teachers that I was the admin of the school confessions page and I got scolded after school. FML
Today, my assistant manager was arguing with a customer. I interjected letting the customer know that "we want everything to be copacetic." After the customer left, I received a write up for using "big words." FML
Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML
Today, I got detention from my teacher for not handing an assignment in. It would be understandable if I hadn't handed it in a week before it was due. She won't listen to reason. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How dare you correct your teacher, OP?! Don't you know they are ALWAYS right, even when they are wrong? Tsk tsk, you definitely deserved this! But, seriously, what a douche of a teacher.

Rage against the machine. I have correct several college professors. Some take it better than others. Right is Right.

Your first mistake is thinking that school is there to teach you to think and be an individual. It's not. It's to teach you to be an obedient worker.

Here in amerIca we call it WWI, in Europe it is called the Great War. Since Woodrow Wilson is American he would of called it WWI. Like he did! Retards!!!!

Nope. He had no way of knowing that there would be a WW2 so he would not have bothered to qualify WW1 as being "first". You can't be the first of one thing.

You may call it that now, yes; because there has been another world war... but then they wouldn't have as they didn't know of this other war... Also, I'm English and I call it WWI so you can't just assume that he did because of his geographical location. Lastly, were you there? Did you hear him call it that? No? Didn't think so. P.S. You just called a very large group of people retards because you thought they were wrong (they're not, you are). Do you think retards are wrong? You disgust me.

I agree with you man.. I mean during world war 1. Why would you call it that if there hasnt been a ww2 or 3. Calling it world war 1 is like a foreshadowing..

I once had a history teacher in eighth grade who insisted that General Ulysses S. Grant was the Commander of the Confederate army, and General Robert E. Lee was the commander of the north. We had a long argument about it and she completely brushed me off, even after I showed her a citation from our text book. She also drew the Panama Canal through the straits of Magellan.

I never had an issue with teachers in high school being this way but college I certainly did. I had a professor ask me to drop her class because she asked for opinions and mine didn't agree with her's. I could back my opinion with facts and she could not do the same. She didn't like it so she made me leave. I had another professor when asked to explain the reason we did a certain assignment (what it was supposed to teach us) she had no reason to give. Her final answer when pressed for one, the project was intense and time consuming, was to teach us to match colors. She was a terrible art professor.

Just go with what the teacher says ONLY IN CLASS. When telling anyone else anywhere else, tell them the truth. That, or talk to the teacher before or after class. You aren't in that class anymore do they have no control over you then. I mean, if a random adult told you to follow him, does he have authority over you? No!

Having grown up in Illinois, I actually had a very interesting history teacher, who I believe was a german officer from WWII. Very strict, short tempered, but very knowledgeable. Anything military, firearms, etc. in great detail, he was willing to share with anyone interested. Now most of the rest of the teachers were idiots, and I ended up filling in for the computer teacher (A Physical Education -gym- major), who barely knew how to turn a computer on. Just remember the old saying - Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.
