Today, my new calculus teacher taught everything using nothing but soccer terms and analogies, just so the resident idiot meatheads would understand. I didn't learn a thing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned, 90 horrifying minutes into a college exam, that my 85-year-old calculus teacher had spent the last three weeks teaching us the wrong chapter. FML
Today, in calculus, our substitute teacher told me I was smart. Everybody in the class, including my friends, burst out laughing. FML
Today, a professor approached me in the hall to ask if, since I'm a math major, I could tutor one of her communications majors in a required Calculus course. Apparently the volunteer tutor the school provides "is a complete dumbass." I'm the school's volunteer tutor. FML
Today, my math teacher decided to use my acne as an example of symmetry in front of the whole class. 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, I have a final for my precalculus class. After hours of studying this week, I felt pretty optimistic. Until I got to class and realized that I'd forgotten my calculator. FML
Today, disappointed with my results on a mathematics test, I went over it and realized my teacher had added up the marks incorrectly, leaving me with 17% less than I earned. The person who's supposed to be teaching me math can't even perform basic arithmetic. FML
Today, my math teacher told me to learn how to say "welcome to wal-mart". FML
Today, I had to find simple words to explain to the idiot I was tutoring that "1/4" is not of a greater value than "1/3" just because the denominator is bigger. FML
Today, my professor snapped and told me that I know nothing, that everything I've ever learned is wrong, and that all of my former teachers should be shot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Does that mean you're less intelligent than the idiot meatheads?

okay, just because one student has trouble understanding doesn't mean the whole class should have to be subject to that. maybe you could volunteer as a tutor or refer to a math help center>

Well if you already understand what the subject is talking about without the use of soccer terms then you really don't need to learn anything.

Soccer is fun.

Didn't learn anything? You mean like a forward that never wears a cup? Or a concussion prone head striker? or a sweeper who always gets caught up? Or a winger that always drives the middle? Or...

seems you are at the top of a slippery slide; tackle the problem head on. His approach for attacking the lesson flew wide of the mark, so remind him education is not free..kick off by asking for a refund; you might not get all of what you paid, but you might get half-back...

You're smart enough for Calc but too dumb for soccer? Nice.

If she doesn't have another class before or after maybe arrive early and hang back so you can have more understanding...hope all goes well...

everyone learns differently. the hard thing is figuring out what kind of meathods works best. who knows, what if those meatheads will become a doctor or something. doesn't make them an idiot if they only understand it in soccer terms.
