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

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.

It doesn't take much to get kids to like you, if you're not funny just give them food

YDI for being a crappy teacher then. At my school, even the hardass teachers get respected if they're good teachers. I know one teacher who was a sniper in the military in Vietnam. He's a complete bastard and everyone hates the work he gives out, but when it comes down to it, we still respect him because he has so much experience and so many lessons to share. So either you don't understand kids or you're mean when you don't have the right to be. Either way, you must be a pretty terrible teacher.

YDI for being a bad teacher, but FYL because normally kids will at least clap and be polite.

You should really do some self-assessment there. Usually, students will at least clap out of politeness, even if they don't love the teacher. Most students also appreciate hard-ass teachers, too, because we know that they're necessary, and teach us lessons. You must be a real ass if they didn't clap AT ALL. Either that or you're dumb and don't teach them anything, or a combination of several things. Do some soul-searching, and if you don't find anything wrong with yourself (that's indicative of some deep-rooted emotional issues, by the way), get a new job.
