Today, my math TA showed the class how one of her "dumb" students answered a test question. Everyone laughed as she wrote out the students answer, including myself, until I looked down at my answer sheet and saw that I submitted an identical answer. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, we were taking a bio quiz and I understood the subject, so the people sitting behind me asked me to help them out. Being a kind fellow classmate, I did. When the teacher got suspicious, she asked the class, "How are all of you getting the same answers?" everyone pointed directly at me. FML
Today, I was accused of cheating on our math test, instantly granting me a perfect zero. How? I used the wrong formula on a problem, but ended up with the correct answer. FML
Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML
Today, in calculus, our substitute teacher told me I was smart. Everybody in the class, including my friends, burst out laughing. FML
Today, I got my precalculus final back from my teacher. I got a 17%. I told her that there had to be some mistake, because my classmate had the same answers as me and she got 100%. Not only did I accidentally admit to cheating, but our test papers had different questions. FML
Today, I cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML
Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML
Today, a student turned in homework she copied off an online answer key. The wrong key. My students are too stupid to cheat right. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Learn to laugh at your stupidity man, otherwise life won't be as much fun! as example, it's not uncommon for me to write the biggest crap on a math test, or drawing smiley faces instead of a calculation because I have noo idea what I have to do

That's really unprofessional. And all of you who are saying YDI don't know how well the OP did on the other questions in the test, and you don't know how hard this person studied for it.

I don't expect him to remember what he put down on question 43, but if I ask what's 2+2 and you don't remember you put 5, it means you just guessed. You're not supposed to learn for the test, you're supposed to learn for life.

If this is an FML, then everything else in your life must be amazing.

Oh, stop it. Despite the name, an FML is just a crappy moment that messes up your day. You don't have to have a miserable life to have an FML.

If she put it on the board, chances are you weren't the only one who made the error or several errors involved in the problem. Maybe instead of laughing at the dumb answer you should have been correcting your dumb answer. Add these two together and... you deserve this one.

I am a TA, and honest to god some of the things that people write down are just hilareous. If you make up a bone on the test (aka femula instead of femur) people are gonna hear about it. Try studying sometime, it'll do wonders for your grade.

People are going to hear about it, yes, but it is not appropriate to call someone out--even in a way you think is anonymous--in front of an entire class. This is the kind of stuff that can get new teachers fired, and tenured teachers reprimanded or even suspended.

Not everyone is good at every subject, have some compassion. You apparently know Anatomy, but not spelling.

You answered, so you obviously do. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy there.

You need to talk to the professor or head of the department about this behavior. You don't have to say it was even your answer being used; you can just say you found it inappropriate for a TA to be calling any of the students in the class "dumb." At most schools, this can get the TA a reprimand at the very least, as a TA position is generally hard to get and only given to the students who the school feels really deserves it. This behavior is a bad reflection on the school.

... or he could just study and quit writing down dumbass answers.

That TA should not be in the position she's in. Whoever supervises this axx needs to know what's going on here. There was someone like this in my court reporting school, one of the readers. CR students advance through classes given at ever higher speeds, e.g., the 100 wpm class on up. This reader would roll her eyes when someone read back badly in class, even if it was their first day working at that advanced speed. I think I got her fired by telling what was going on with her.

A few weeks ago, when going over some exam questions after the test, my teacher read off one of my answers to the class. Everyone laughed. Definitely not a good feeling, though I did laugh too. :P
