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

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?

I think everyone is getting caught up on the idea that they hate their teacher for this. The point of the FML was to point out the bad luck that they have this teacher for three classes and out of all of the teachers this one is the only one that did this.

Aww that’s so bad OP, having a teacher who is keen to keep you up to date with your classes, must be so annoying. If only he could be like all these lazy teachers we read about on this website and not give a damn about your education.

buck up, in Norway we don't close the school even if the snow is above the windows and just be creative, you dont have internet and they can't check it because of the snow

I understand you wanting to enjoy your unexpected time off, but he sounds like a teacher who cares about his students not falling behind. He only has so many days of school to teach you everything on the subject. Trust me, you may as well get used to it if you go to college. Most professors expect you to stay current with the syllabus regardless of missed classes.

Still term time, so you should still be doing work. So what if you don't want to, you'd regret it more if you didn't bother with school.

Dumb ass. It is better to stay on top of your homework and assignments than fall behind. Get your work done and stop whining.
