Today, I was in class. I am an older student going back for my PhD. I was kicked out of class for "sassing" my instructor for telling him he was wrong about what took place at an event I was actually present at. My instructor is a 22 year old TA. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was escorted out of the building for getting in a scuffle at my anger management class. FML
Today, I was kicked out of college for not attending a class I wasn't ever enrolled in. FML
Today, I was in sociology class and I raised my hand to ask a question, not realizing that the professor was right behind me. I smacked him right in the face, no doubt reducing my chances of a good grade. FML
Today, my professor gave me a huge lecture in front of the class about showing up sick, about how I was endangering the lives of other students, and kicked me out of class. As I left, everyone applauded. I'm not sick, but suffering for horrible allergies. FML
Today, I was written up and given a penalty for being 3 minutes late to class. By my instructor. Who was 17 minutes late. 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
Today, I gathered the courage to participate in a class discussion. My professor laughed at me. FML
Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year-old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML
Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML
Today, a student set me on fire while I was lecturing my class about proper lab safety. FML

More proof that TA's are TA's for a reason: They don't know shit and the only reason they got to be TA is because they kissed a lot of ass to get there.

Real PhD students in *real* doctoral programs do not have TA's as instructors: TA's (either Master's or PhD candidates) only teach UNDERGRAD classes and never teach their peers; PhD students do not take undergrad classes. Ergo: You are full of it about getting a PhD. I'd be on your side if you weren't lying your ass off about your degree and coursework.

Are you one of those annoying older students and this was the last straw? So many older students are really REALLY annoying.

Yeah it's some bs man :/ Ive actually gotten suspended from school before because I was "Talking back to and disrespecting the teacher"... I totally shouldve known that letting a mathematics teacher know that she had the wrong answer (therefore teaching all the students incorrectly, by the way) is rude, right? xD

I once had a teacher tell me that my answer on a test was wrong. I proceeded to take out the story that the test referred to and showed her that my answer was correct. She still took forever to take back that point...had to "remind" her numerous times before it happened...wouldn't have cared, except that it was only worth 10 points, so that was the difference between a B and C.

teachers are narcissists and self-righteous (not all of them, but mostly). I should know, my teacher failed me in French because he wouldn't believe he had the wrong information until I showed him a dictionary. He failed me because I corrected him and "I shouldn't do that, what do I know about teaching".

there's a reason why these types remain in academia vs practicing in their respective fields.

Maybe it was the manor in which you presented yourself and not the fact that you said he was wrong...
