Today, we got our progress reports. My physics teacher wrote that I don't participate in class. My mom got mad and grounded me before I could tell her that I raise my hand in class all the time but my teacher won't call on me cause he can't pronounce my name. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finished an exam in physics class. It counts for 40% of our grade. As I handed my paper in to my teacher, she said to the whole class while talking about me, "You did this wrong; this isn't how you do it." FML
Today, I was threatened to be held back because of the lack of teacher-parent communication. My parents refuse to sign my report card because of my one mark below ninety percent. My teacher was dead serious about failing me. FML
Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, I was in class just taking notes and minding my own business. The teacher has already called my parents twice complaining about me. As we are taking 3 pages of notes she grabs mine and rips them up, saying that she is sick and tired of me drawing. I was drawing the graphs on the board. FML
Today, after a conference with my teacher who had previously accused me of not doing my homework, she finally discovered she'd been losing it all this time. I've been getting straight Fs for a month. FML
Today, I got my report card. My teacher gave me an F, and under class comments she gave me a U for unsatisfactory. So I got an F U from my teacher. FML
Today, my parents saw my report card. Now, they refuse to buy me my the new computer I've always wanted because my grades had 'slipped'. I made honor roll for three terms, and was kept off for the fourth for a single bad grade. I failed gym. FML
Today, my parents got a call from my English teacher. She told them that I have 14 days of detention because I've been cutting class. I've been there every day, but apparently she never noticed me. FML
Today, my mom kept swearing and punished me while I was in an online lesson. I almost got punished by the teacher as well. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Where in the world do teachers call you by your last name?

My 9th grade science teacher called all of his students by their last names as a sign of respect.

most of our coaches and one or two teachers call us by our last name. Plus i have a few friends who go my their last name, or a nickname and the teachers that usually would call you by your first name call you by the nickname or last name like everyone else.

My eighth grade social studies teacher did that to, "Establish that were were not children, but young adults", or something like that. He added Miss and Mister to it, too, lol. 8D :l There's a lot of school based tv shows where the students are called by their last name as well. That's retarded, though, OP. o-o All my teachers butcher at least one name in the class of a student, after awhile, they either don't give a shit, or they try to call on them enough to get the name down. :l Suuucckkks for you though

How do you "learn to have a better last name?" You don't get educated on getting better last names...

I had a ninth grade biology teacher who did the same thing. In fact, several of my ninth grade teachers did that.

I don't hope that #39. "Yes, Lee?", "Alright, Lee", "What is the answer, Lee?"

rofl. there are quite a few stupid names that are almost impossible to pronounce. OP, why couldn't you've asked your teacher to call you by something else? EASY to pronounce, maybe?

It depends on the teacher. It sets a wall of formality between the teacher and the student. @OP: Your stupid physics teacher should've tried at least. I have one former classmate who always has her teachers stumble on her last name. But they didn't stop trying. Just curious though, what IS your last name?

@14 In high school, a couple teachers called me by my last name, but without "Mr." Then again, they were also my football coaches...

Op never even said it was their last name the teacher couldn't pronounce, it could just as easily be their first name too

My English teacher all through Jr. high and high school called us Ms/Mr (insert last name). It's about respect. I thought it was strange at first but actually gained more respect for him, from it.

Don't worry Quakaliopsbadapompski, the teacher will learn to pronounce your name eventually!

how hard can a name be to pronounce? D: just tell them to call you by the first letter of your first name. :D unless it's like... Q or O or U. but you get it.

Where I'm from, there's a LOT of kids with names that you can't pronounce. It just depends on your race. My name is simple, but I hear crazy ones a lot. Here's two... Franshelix and Nepthalie. Most teachers can't pronounce those names. One more is Olaoluwa. Yeah...
the_stereotype 0
ur physics teacher is retarded. if he can't pronounce your name have him call you by the first letter or something or just let him pronounce it wrong. if ur just insistent on him saying it exactly right, then YDI

Parents should think before naming children

Ugh i hate stuff that like!!

e__e; Why are you assuming the teacher doesn't let you participate because of the pronunciation?

She said that she always raises her hand. In my Excellerated Math class, there's another Jessica and my twin brother. My teacher just calls me 'Jessica the Evil Twin' because I said I'm the evil one. OP, that sucks :/

haha. well what's your name? it can't be worse than some kids in my grade. "Avirajhn", "Muthuramen"... and we also have a stoner whose birth given name is --I swear to god-- Stone. so there's definitely some difference in ease of pronunciation.

I know this one kid; his parents are total hippies by the way, his full legal name is Laughing Spruce (last name kept out for his sake), but he goes by Spruce.

i dont get how you let people mess you about like that.. tell them to shut the **** up and listen. when they get the explanation theyll realise theyve been a **** and hopefully shut the **** up. if they still refuse to face the truth then good for them.. if they like bending the truth to win an argument then fine

what are you, 10? your spelling and use of profanity is on the level of a fifth grader.

That really wasn't a necessary comment. Hasn't anyone ever taught you any manners? No need to bash on someone because they speak--or type-- differently.

Well this really isnt a 10 year old site, I had a friend like that who was younger then I was and thought cursing was cool and basically used all the curse words, back then **** wasnt a popular one and was barely used by teenagers and now ten year olds are using it..ugh who the **** infected the gene pool...

... Lack of participation in class is, frankly, a pathetic excuse to get mad. If you're getting good grades, class participation doesn't mean shit.
MiddleChild08 0
It does if the teacher is giving you bad grades because you don't participate...

In some courses, class participation is a mandatory preparation for one's career. Imagine having a criminal trial lawyer who "didn't participate in class". See you in prison!
