Today, was teacher appreciation day at my school. They played a slideshow of all the teachers. The students cheered wildly for every teacher. When my picture came up, nobody clapped. The whole room was quiet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in art class, everybody was showing the paintings that we have been working on for weeks. Everyone was cheering and clapping. When mine came up, nobody clapped. FML
Today, it was my very last day teaching my dance class. After the class ended, the owner of the studio started clapping and told all my students to give me a hug. No one hugged me. No one. FML
Today, I was at a school rally I was talking to my friends when I noticed the entire gym had gotten quiet. Not knowing why I thought it would be funny to yell out "it's too quiet!" apparently it was a moment of silence for a teacher that had recently died. FML
Today, I gave a big presentation to my class. It included PowerPoint slides and video clips of the country I'd been researching. Another student did a presentation on the same country, except he just read from its Wikipedia page. He practically got a standing ovation. I got a single clap. FML
Today, our favorite teacher walked into our history class and everyone started whistling, I decided to join in by screaming, "Sexy!" The room went quiet and all heads turned to me. FML
Today, I had to present a powerpoint in front of my class. When I was finished, no one clapped. On my way back to my seat, I slipped on a pencil and fell straight on my face. That's when everyone clapped. FML
Today, I changed my teacher's PowerPoint picture to me making a funny face. He saw it and changed it to a picture of him, with a middle finger. FML
Today, I’m a high school teacher and I finally learned how to use the smartboard properly. I connected my laptop to demonstrate a lesson… and projected the last thing I had open: a half-written email complaining about how loud this exact class is. Thirty teenagers read it in silence. One kid raised his hand and said, “Fair.” FML
Today, at the elementary school where I teach, the kids all voted for their favorite teacher. I was the only one to receive zero votes. When I asked a small group of students why no one voted for me, one boy replied "because you're the ugliest". FML
Today, I went to attend my summer school class again after being out sick for a week. When I said "Here" during roll call, everyone started cheering and clapping. Apparently, my professor has been badmouthing me while I've been absent for pretending to be sick. I'm sure my grade will be fantastic. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hard teachers are usually the ones that teach life lessons... I know mine were.

YDI for being a bad teacher. FYL for having dumb children. Either one works.

I agree with the posters who have suggested for you to look at yourself objectively to see if there's anything that needs changing. Certainly, we've all had bad or overly strict teachers, but those who were truly disliked to the point of not one person making a sound for them would be in their own realm of awfulness. What complaints have you heard consistently from the kids or their parents? As some have said, perhaps loosening up and being nicer would make a difference. (Homework doesn't have to be avoided, but make sure you're not givingn 2+ hours a night of it!)

LOL, we have a few teachers like that at our schools. The ones nobody likes because they are a) always in a bad mood, b) creepers, or c) just plain mean. All the people saying "become a cooler teacher" you guys are idiots. You can't just become all soft and let the children to whatever they want or they won't learn anything. I have a teacher that is always in a bad mood, even if we're trying to be good. She just has an attitude problem and she could change that. That's still mean though. And awkward for you. FYL.

Trust me, if nobody clapped, you're a bad teacher. I don't mean hard, I mean overly strict and unfair. Seriously. Chill out and be a better teacher.

agree with #123. You must be an awful teacher for them not to even clap once. OK, even jerk teachers have some supporters, you must be terrible. You're probably one of those hard-assed idiots who give students detentions for forgetting a pencil or getting a bad grade on a 5 point quiz. If thats the case, YDI. Show some empathy, realize that your students are human beings, not social, dangerous deviants who only want to vandalize stuff and have sex. I hate teachers who think they are SO superior. Haha, can you tell I've had this experience with a teacher? ;)

Wow that sucks. But you may need to loosen up a bit and have a good time while you teach.
