Today, my friend said that his dad told him we couldn't hang out anymore, he thinks I'm a bad influence because I don't have all 90's in my classes. The only reason he knows I have below a 90 is because he's my geography teacher. I have an 87. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was threatened to be held back because of the lack of teacher-parent communication. My parents refuse to sign my report card because of my one mark below ninety percent. My teacher was dead serious about failing me. FML
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, the mother of one of my students bitched me out about her son's poor grades. He lazes around all day, paying no attention and being a constant nuisance. But, she says it's not his fault, and demands that I give him better grades so he won't get "self-esteem" issues. FML
Today, my dad made me and my boyfriend break up. Not because he was a bad influence, but because I was. FML
Today, one of my fourth-graders came up to me and asked, "Can you please not put my test grades in the weekly folders? My mom likes to get mad when I get below a 90." FML
Today, I overheard my dad telling his work buddy that he's disappointed in his kid. I assumed he meant my brother, for flunking out of school. He meant me, for quitting sports to focus on my studies. FML
Today, I was copying an assignment from my friend and was feeling confident that I was gonna pass. I later found out I copied his name too, so the teacher failed us both. He won't talk to me now. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML
Today, one of my friends got me in trouble when he called our house and asked my parents why they didn't see us at a school conference. My parents were at a meeting elsewhere at the time, so I didn't bother to tell them about it, as we couldn't have gone there to begin with, and it was voluntary. They're mad anyway. FML
Today, my dad grounded me for not having any friends. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is it just me or does he flat-out dont like you?

The way I see it is he either just dislikes you a lot and was looking for an excuse, or he expects everyone to be a perfectionist. An 87 is still an A in a lot of places. You should try to hang out with your friend anyways, and great job with your grades, by the way.

Your friend's father doesn't know the meaning of bad influence.

Dude all 90s and one high 80s is better than most people

Great job with the grades, though. Mostly 90's is amazing.

So he literally only cares about grades, nothing else in life or your character matters. Sounds like a lot of teachers I've had.

He's just worried that his son might get bad grades and end up having to be a geography teacher.

His geography teacher telling him he has an 87 is a breach of contract?! Man, I need to sue my kid's school for all those midterms and report cards they send out...

The mentality that everyone has to be in the top 10% is one of the biggest problems with our school system. Last year the school counseled told me I should consider switching to an easier class to improve my gpa. What grade did I have in the class? 88%. It really pisses me off when I hear people complaining about failing and they got like an 80. They didn't fail and have been spoon fed ridiculous standards of acceptability for their whole lives.

Please don't glorify mediocrity.

He's not glorifying mediocrity, but 80% is far from failing, and definitely not something to complain about.

#32 is absolutely right. If there isn't a good bell curve, students are not being challenged. Students come with different potentials, experiences, and drives. If everyone is I the 90s, it is a clear indicator of a diluted system of education. Average means 50% below and 50% above. No way should half of kids be in the 90s. It's like the 80% of parents that think their kid is "gifted". Good for you for challenging yourself when they wont, #32.
