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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

I guess the FML is that only one of your teachers really cares about your education, while the rest are lazy slack-asses.

Exactly! It's not hyperbole to say it's a global market, a large% of the foreign students at college were far more prepared...

You still get most of school off, just do the online work fast :)

Usually, the teachers will try to cram the rest of the material in the remaining days, or extend the semester. Some online work doesn't sound too bad given the alternatives. Besides, with most snow days, the roads are probably pretty terrible, and there's not much to do anyways.

I hate doing you have to do.

I don't see an issue here. The teacher is making it so his classes don't fall behind just because the school closed. Plus, you have time to do the work with these snow days, and you're not forced to work within a certain time block, so you can do it, walk away, have some leisure time, and then come back and finish it. This is honestly better than doing the work in class, and it's certainly better than falling behind.

Boo-*******-hoo, I spent two weeks in hospital when I was 15 and still had to do school work whilst wrapped in bandages. Suck it up, university work is way harder than school work and actually working for a living is even harder than that.

You're clearly not an engineer.
