Today, I was giving an anti-drugs speech to a group of ninth graders. I got onto the topic of trafficking from problem countries and asked a student to point out Mexico City on a map. He hesitated a few seconds before pointing at Canada. What the hell has the education system come to? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, in the senior class I teach, I asked my students who had traveled outside of the country, excluding Canada and Mexico. One student raised his hand and proudly stated, "Arizona". He wants to be a doctor. FML
Today, I was getting ready to perform a speech in anthropology on the globalization of public transportation and how it brings cultures together. On the bus ride there, the girls behind me were discussing ways to hide their track marks after injecting. FML
Today, while answering an "anonymous" survey about how to keep my school drug free, I told them they should stop drug testing the kids that they know don't do drugs and test the sketchier ones. They in turn drug tested me. FML
Today, I was listening to my favorite radio station outta Detroit. A commercial came on for a program that was giving federal grants to people who were going into a trade, like me. Right as I was getting excited I heard the words "brought to you by the government of Canada." FML
Today, I had to show my daughter where the USA is on a map. She's 17, and we live in the USA. FML
Today, I found out my son was selling pot for pesos. We live in New Jersey and have never planned on going to Mexico. FML
Today, while at a school anti-drugs assembly, the speaker asked everyone to stand up if they knew someone who had died of an overdose. As I stood up, my friend hit me in the side, making me laugh. I stood frozen under accusing glares while the speaker bitched me out for a good 5 minutes. FML
Today, I went with my son to a conference about sexual education at his high school. I guess it was all too late, because among the attendees I saw three girls from the same high school who were already pregnant. They aren't even 18. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Public schools are bullshit. In private schools, you actually learn crap

ThThis sad, but true. Children in public Schools are promoted regardless of their level of knowledge. When I was in public school (55 years ago), students were " held back if they couldn't pass the testing tong to the next grade. These days if you try to do that you might be called a racist or might be discriminating on the basis of something. Teachers are not allowed to discipline students because you might damage their self esteem or some crap. We might even get paddled with wooden boards if we disobeyed a teacher.

49- most Canadians cannot speak French although the French that is spoken here is different in many ways than the actual; Hence why we call it French-Canadian and not just French.

Why must you make our hockey, maple syrup, and Mountie loving country look so bad? sure Canada is pretty awesome, but have you noticed that we DO have fat people (probably you), dumb people (also you), and we mostly act the same as Americans ( though you must be in the douchebag species). grow up.

Aw now, we all know it's not the education system's fault. It's because most people in the U.S. don't HAVE maps, right Miss Teen South Carolina?
