Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Today, while grading my kindergarteners' spelling tests, one kid spelled all the words wrong, including his name. FML
Today, I was reading a picture storybook to a kindergarten kid. She could pronounce more words than me, and corrected me. I'm about triple her age. FML
Today, it was the last day of school, and I said goodbye to one of my students. She then told me how to correctly pronounce her name. I'd said it wrong all year. FML
Today, one of my students corrected the problem I had solved on the board, explaining that you do multiplication before subtraction. I teach the second grade. FML
Today, I found out I've been misspelling my middle name for 25 years. FML
Today, my 10-year-old niece asked me how to spell "embarrassing." I confidently spelled it out. She giggled and said, "No, that's wrong." She was right, and to make matters a tad ironic, I'd just finished bragging about winning a spelling bee back in middle school. FML
Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML
Today, I confidently corrected someone in a group conversation. I was wrong. Very wrong. Everyone stared while Google proved me incorrect in seconds. I nodded and pretended I meant something else. FML
Today, my 8 year-old niece and I were arguing over how many letters were in the alphabet. Guess who was right. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Who's right? I know someone who was more wrong than anyone...... The person who gave you the room number of the kid geniuses that you encountered when you were told you would be teaching the mentally challenged kids in the room 5 doors down the hall instead! No shame in being corrected by kid geniuses. Children can be so cruel!!!

Let me guess. It was you who got it right wasn't it?

I think the bigger issue here rather than "ooh I'm a graduate student and they're mentally challenged, boo hoo" should be you can't even spell your own name correctly, and will even look at it spelled wrong and argue that it's right...
