Today, marks my third day of school being closed due to snow. One, and only one, of the teachers has decided that we have to do work online in the meantime. I just so happen to be in three of his classes. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, school finally opened up using a hybrid schedule. Unfortunately, two of my teachers were quarantined and half of the school was on Zoom. I spent two hours in the library doing nothing with a mask on. Everyone else was on Zoom in bed. FML
Today, I got snowed in. At work. FML
Today, my boss texted me to say the office was closed because of the snow. I begged him to let me go in anyway because I had nothing to do all day. I have no life, friends or hobbies. FML
Today, I'm a teacher in the middle of a pandemic. Half my students haven't shown up to my class. The other half don't do any assignments. I keep my job based on how well my students do. FML
Today, I'm two days deep into a semester at a trade school, pulling doubles. I was supposed to only work 4 days a week, which would've been totally manageable. But, because the weather was total crap the first week, now I'm stuck working 80-hour weeks for the next month including those Fridays. FML
Today, it's the last day of my three-week vacation, during which I couldn't go anywhere due to COVID and lockdown. I just learned that some of my colleagues are infected and I will have to fill in for two department superintendents at the same time when I go back to work tomorrow. FML
Today, my college English teacher told me if I wanted an explanation for my grade I would have to schedule a conference to come to her office. It's an online class. I took an online class because I can't come in. FML
Today, I've been making extremely good progress in my online class. Or at least… I was, until the deadline to complete it was suddenly pushed a whole month forward, causing me to be "behind." Then my teacher had the nerve to email me, telling me I needed to catch up. FML
Today, my teacher said that since I was sick last week, I had to do all the work that the others had done, which I didn't know about because no one said anything about it. So now I've got to watch a total of 5 hours-worth of documentaries, and write analysis of them. Before tomorrow. FML
Today, exactly 19 seconds after I logged on, my boss Zoom-called me to let me know 3 people are out sick, probably until Monday, so if I wouldn’t mind doing their work as well so we don’t fall behind, within working hours, no overtime available. He wasn’t happy when I told him no. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well at least it's not actual book work. I prefer doing work online

What does online work have to do with any thing in this FML?

Make sure you dont send it by email then.

Say you sent it from your phone, which has about 15% battery left and will promptly die soon. Now you're golden

Then the teacher is going to be like, " You could have went to the local library (which has computers) or something." Either way that's OP's grade going down for not just doing the work.

I'm in Dallas right now, and we are not used to snow at all. We just had a snow storm that has been turning to ice overnight. There were literally cars skidding all over the road, the weight of ice knocking down trees and patios, and a lot of accidents. The city urged us to stay OFF the road. So this excuse could work....

Wah, I hate my teacher for doing his job!

a bit ignorant are we?
onlychildFTW 34
It's different when only ONE teacher is like this, and then you have him for a bunch of classes. It'd be different if most/all the teachers made assignments.

9 - I'm curious what you find "ignorant" about that comment.

you may want to refresh yourself on the definition of ignorance and try again.

Awe that sucks!! Just what Everyone wants to do when school is closed!! (Wink wink)

Don't complain, schools have to make up for the closed school days and extend the winter quarter longer. At least this way you'll stay caught up and probably be able to finish on time as originally scheduled.

It shouldn't have to be a problem.... if it weren't for all those standards that leave little room for actual learning!

Depends on the school division, some already have more than the required minimum in class hours and don't have to make up lost snow days. On a mild winter mine would have a couple "study days" before exams after all the lessons were done.

they add a few extra days at the end of the year but they'll take away vacation days first(MLK day, shorter Christmas/Easter break) so the days don't have to be made up at the end of the year.

My make up days at the end of the school year were usually spent watching movies. Teachers would rather not be there either.

"Professor, my dog ate my online homework." Seems legit.

Well, school is technically still in session, right?
CrassKal 27
Whenever my school had numerous days off, we had to make up for when school ended. Maybe this will avoid you having to do that.

Some teachers live to make sure no one has a happy life.
Welshite 40
Yeah, they sure screwed my entire life up by ensuring that I passed my exams with flying colors. I had a self-professed "anal" professor who worked her students to near-exhaustion. She was strict, over-bearing, and lied about her exams. She was honestly the best professor I've ever had.

I'm pretty sure that there aren't teachers that do their job just to make sure "no one has a happy life"

I can only think of one teacher who lives to make students miserable. That's my Spanish teacher who told us she hates teenagers, being asked questions, teaching and Spanish. Other than that, no. Teachers do not live to make students miserable.
