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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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 have mad respect for teachers and was one myself for a while. if this happened to you YDI for one reason or another. you really might be a terrible teacher. you may not be an idiot but you're probably either rude, cruel, unreasonable, disrespectful, uptight or creepy. think hard. which is it?

ok, well kids like understandable teachers that have some humor in them. they dont like strict annoying teachers that need to have it their way and dont really teach the kids, they just do what the books says. Also i dont know if you've noticed but kids dont like mean teachers... maybe you should be nicer next year.

If u said half clapped and half Boo'd I might feel bad. But when NOBODY claps Not even other teachers...then that is a statement! When it is 50/50 or something that is some kids don't like u, ur teaching style, or just haven't had u. When nobody claps the whole school knows of u and know enough to not even clap...YDI u have obviously done something or many somethings!

That's sucks, but you know what? Children are ******* ignorant. Pay no mind cause they honestly don't know shit right now.

YDI I have to agree with #60. No matter how strict you are, how much work you give, if you're doing your job well, you'll be respected. As people have said, it's time to take a serious look at yourself and your teaching. You're not doing something wrong, you're doing a lot wrong. And for the sake of the kids you're going to be working with, you should take this chance to better your teaching.

If that happens, you did something to deserve it. Try being nice to your students.
