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.

YDI because you're probably a horrible teacher. It takes skill to get a silent room.

Them not clapping doesn't mean you're some awesome teacher who's just too strict and they'll appreciate later. It really doesn't, please do not take it as that. I've had some hardass teachers and if they were good at what they did, fair and at least showed that despite their strictness they actually cared for their students they were liked and respected anyways, not always by everyone but by a good portion, certainly enough to clap. My grade 12 math teacher was one of my hardest ever but he knew what he was teaching and was good at what he did and despite his strict teaching style we respected him and a lot of us really liked him. My chem teacher was similar, incredibly challenging teacher and definitely a class you had to work your ass off for, but he was funny and got us involved and interested in the subject to the point where everyone actually Wanted to go to class. If not a single student clapped for you, and they were clapping for ALL the other teachers, there's something seriously wrong, especially if you're teaching past the elementary level. Putting up with awful teachers when students should be learning something isn't a good thing. Do some soul searching, change your teaching methods.

#221 something is seriously wrong if he is teaching at elementary level. because those in the younger grades would like a serial killer if they thought it was their teacher....
