Today, my AP teacher once again accused me of plagiarism. Apparently the words "demise," "ultimately," and "rural," are too sophisticated for an 11th grade AP student to use and MUST have been copied from the Internet. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML
Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML
Today, at school, I got in trouble for plagiarizing on a paper. The subject of said paper was where I see myself in ten years. FML
Today, my teacher called a friend and me out of class and told us we had been reported for plagiarism because our answers to a problem were nearly identical, and he said that I shouldn't have shared my work. This for an assignment where significant marks were awarded for collaborating with peers. FML
Today, my classmate told me she can copy an article from the internet and hand that in, as long as she cites it at the end. FML
Today, I got yelled at for 10 minutes by my head of department for failing one of my students for plagiarism, because, "we can't be sure." It was my work he plagiarised, but because it's not in our system, it doesn't count. FML
Today, I got an A+ on a writing assignment. My teacher asked me three times if I really did write this article myself, and didn't memorise an article from the Internet. FML
Today, I got a paper back that was given a zero for suspected plagiarism. Everything I wrote was my own thought and analysis. My instructor basically thinks my paper is smarter than I am. He won't listen, even when I explain my thought processes throughout the piece. FML
Today, I collected my students' final essays. One of them submitted a printout of a screenshot he took with his phone. Too bad a browser address bar was still in the shot, along with a "click to read more" link at the bottom. My students are too dumb and lazy to even plagiarize properly. FML
Today, I failed an assignment because the person I paid to do it plagiarized the entire thing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just explain the meaning of the words in question and why you chose them. Will surprise her and proof you're innocent.

Ah your just upset that you got caught. Walk into class reading a book or something next time and the teacher might think more of you, but preferably not captain underpants in this scenario. But by all means read the cptn in your spare time!

If that's the only evidence your teacher has she's an idiot and she's probably just jealous because you're smarter than she is.

Even if OP doesn't know the meanings of those words off the top of his/her head, single words are no reason to accuse someone of plagiarism. Even a half-wit English teacher should know that kids have access to a dictionary or, God forbid, a thesaurus. Either OP is exaggerating, or that teacher needs to be fired, then at least take some English classes before being allowed to teach it.

60- Phantasmagorical- 1.) adj. Characterized by rapid changes in light intensity and color. 2.) adj. The quality of blurring real and imaginary elements as in a dream. My Honors English class just did this word. We're reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. :)

why are people so proud that they learned a word using a f... class read more and you'll learn more words without a teacher telling you to learn it PS: being good at school, does not mean a person is intelligent or not, it just means you have discipline i'm not calling anybody dumb, but don't feel better than anybody either, and telling people to dumb down to fit someone's expectations is the dumbest god damn ******* thing i have ever heard

Question: what's AP? The first things Google gives me are all about 'the Associated Press' and I get a feeling that that's not what it's all about. OP, your teacher is an ass. An unprofessional ass. Pupils are allowed to use the internet as a source of inspiration whilst making homework, as long as they just don't copy-paste the shit or change a couple of words. That's plagiarism. Using difficult words is something your teacher should be encouraging. I don't know how it's there, but here, in Belgium, we need to have proof for plagiarism. I once found an identical copy of a task on the internet, I printed it and tadaah, plagiarism proved. If there is no proof, there is no plagiarism.

Advanced Placement.
softballer22 0
AP is advanced placement. it gives high school students the chance to prepare for college and get college credits while still in high school.
DjeePee 25
But I don't know what advanced placement is :( I'm searching for a term people in Europe (specific: Belgium) use for it. Edit, thank you Softballer. Now I know what it is, and it's something we don't have. I think...

AP stands for Advanced Placement and you can receive college credit for AP courses, depending on what school you're planning to go to.

#57 I've tried hard looking for your point, but I just don't see it. OP, your teacher is an idiot. If he just accuses you but nothing really comes out of it, ignore him- some teachers are just plain bitter and will do everything they can to make other people's lives just as miserable. If it affects you in some way, even the slightest, talk to the principal about it.
TheIrishJaneDoe 9
45: I'm guessing you don't have AP courses because your educational system isn't ass-backwards. ALL students should be prepared for college by graduation, whether they plan to attend or not.

It's not college prep, it's the opportunity to earn college credits while in High School. AP or Advances Placement classes are an opportunity to take a college equivalent class. They are usually pretty difficult and the test is designed to challenge you on an incredibly high level. It is hosted by College Board (SAT too). I would know, I've taken four :).

AP is like a collage class but in High School. It is an advanced class(for a high school student) which makes this even more of a fml.
LaGuera7426 0
djpeepee...AP is short for Advanced Placement. It's an honors course that allows you to take a placement exam once you've graduated high school to earn college credit and allow you to skip classes at the university level.
Reasonable 4
82, that would be great, but take my school, for example. They had to cut some AP and honors classes last semester because kids were failing 9th grade on level biology for the third time. Those kids sicken me with how quickly they throw away their opportunities. No matter how much you teach them, they're not going to care about school enough to learn.

AP classes are going to start having high dollar marks next to them in the near future because there is no funding for them.. so many will be better waiting for college to pay for them.. rather than get a jumpstart in HS

AP is advanced placement. it's about the same a a bacloreate or a Cambridge study program. it helps you earn college credits when your in high school. They are very challenging classes, harder then honors or gifted.

185- a collage class for high school?! Oh my, but collages are such an advanced art form. Try coloring inside the lines, I hear you're still working on it.

AP basically makes the course a bit tougher so that you can get more high school credits faster. P.S. what's belgium like?
