Today, it was the last day of school. My students shared what they thought of me. Expecting to hear wonderful things, all of their complaints can be summed up in a few words: I'm a liar, a killer of dreams, I need to grow up, and I was a big disappointment to them. I'm a first-year teacher. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was the last day of school, and I said goodbye to one of my students. She then told me how to correctly pronounce her name. I'd said it wrong all year. FML
Today, I ran into my favorite teacher from high school, the one that really inspired me to become one myself. I told her that I'm in my last year of college preparing to become a teacher, to which she replied, "Wow, they really are letting anyone have a crack at being a teacher these days." FML
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
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, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. FML
Today, I had 15 teenagers literally laugh in my face when I asked them to be quiet. I'm a student teaching in a high school, which is the culmination of 2 years of my life and $20,000, and I might in fact actually hate doing it. 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, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." 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’m a middle-school teacher. Handing back graded essays, only to realize halfway through that I’d left my personal notes visible on the projector. One said, “Great kid, but talks like a podcast on 1.5x speed.” The student read it out loud before I could close the tab. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

...Maybe over the summer you should consider changing a smidge.

Teachers like you are the reason society has gone backwards. No wonder teen suicide rates are going up, teens living on the streets doing drugs and alcohol, get high off paint and petrol and then start graffitiying everywhere. Yea you should be shot. Jks, that sucks OP, should have brought them all cookies and ice-cream on their last day! Suddenly you'll be their favorite teacher!

I'm thinking (and praying) that she's a first year teacher. Those would be impressive accusations coming from 6 and 7 year olds.

Don't take it too personal OP. Face it, they live in MISSISSIPPI...what kind of dreams could they have... to own a worm farm? To see their trailer go floating down the river every Spring flood? To marry their sibling?

Take their advice. And I bet that a lot of people clicked on this FML to see if it was a teacher in their area.

Time to take a look at yourself and your teaching methods, OP. Kids don't lie.
WiderWille 11
Kids lie. And if they hate someone for wahtever reason, they can make the life of the person pretty horrible. Yes, even first grader. We got rid of a teacher we didn't liked the same way once.
LinTurk 4
of course kids lie. They lie when you want the truth, and then they go and blurt out the truth when you least want to hear it, and then they'll switch it up to keep you guessing.

Yeah kids these days are like my cats. I could do whatever I want with them, but as long as I feed them in the end, they will love me.

teachers who throw end of year party's in class get an automatic boost up the awesome teacher scale :) but tbh those teachers are usually cool 2/3 of the year if only all teachers were that awesome D: I only know 3

Thanks for the tip! I'm currently going to school to become a teacher. And yes I plan on being ranked high on the awesome-teacher scale :P
No_LoveMM 3
74 to be ranked high on the scale, become interactive with your kids, learn all their names, use cheesy puns but don't try too hard, and occasionally bring them food. Ok even if you just do the last one you will be number 1 haha.
Pinkanani 12
I'm always interactive, I'm good with names, and I'm a good cook :) Plus my best friend is amazing at making pastries and has shared her secrets with me. I'll actually be subbing this coming school year, so I guess I'll see how I do!
No_LoveMM 3
What grade(s) do you want to teach?
wolfshadow 4
Be carful with subbing students, many won't listen.

Bring them food and they become your slaves. Bribery is the most efficient tactic against stubborn students.

Of course in fairness given that the kid's dream was to become a bat it might not have been a bad idea for the OP to kill it.
No_LoveMM 3
A bat as in the flying rodent? or the instrument in baseball? Nevertheless both were good dreams to be crushed.

You must have been a bad teacher! And if so, YDI. Then again, you can never please everyone so I'm pretty sure there are nice comments too.

Some donuts could have fix the problem.
FMLephant 2
OP didn't say they were a police instructor
Chumbowamba 10
Hell any instructor who gives me a donut is a awesome teacher ._.
