Today, while doing a project on income, my teacher told me there are no houses in Japan. I told her I lived in Mitaka for 3 years and that I lived in a house there. She told me I was bullshitting. So much for quality education. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML
Today, I was told by my teacher that she had 'given up' teaching me because someone had told her I have a mental illness, and that I don't understand what she says. FML
Today, my teacher told me that unless I went into medicine, math, or engineering, I would never amount to anything in life. This wasn't even two minutes after I told him I want to be an author. 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'm on vacation in Japan with my brother. When he said he could speak Japanese, I guess what he really meant that he's a dumbass weeaboo who only knows the words "kawaii", "baka", "sugoi" and a few others. He ended up offending two locals so much that they beat the shit out of us. FML
Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML
Today, I had to explain to my teacher that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. She kicked me out of class when she found out I was right. FML
Today, my mother told me she forgot what a verb is. I'm homeschooled, and she's my teacher. FML
Today, my teacher, who's Irish, called me insensitive and stupid for imitating her accent. I'm Filipino and my parents immigrated to Ireland where I was born, and then we moved to Canada when I was 14. Her response to my explanation? "Bullshit." FML
Today, my English teacher kicked me out of class for being "rude and disruptive." In actuality, I had called her out for having blatantly used Google Translate for several example sentences, all of which sounded as if a semi-literate foreigner had constructed them. FML

Does she not know they had an industrial revolution? Or even heard of Tokyo?

A lot of people think Japan is all apartment blocks, which is what I assume the teacher thought, but even in Tokyo there are a lot of (very small) single family homes.

I don't even want to THINK of how much a house in Tokyo would cost...

If that's what she meant, she's still an idiot. Even Singapore has standalone houses. Japan is a huge county with a lot of areas with large traditional houses. Teachers should not open their mouths unless they are sure. OP should file complaint against the teacher for stupidity.

So she may have had misconceptions but to then call someone who lived there a liar is completely stupid. Sounds like she doesn't like being corrected so goes into denial.

The only logical explanation is that we're in the Matrix, and the teacher was trying to free your mind. "Do not try and buy a Japanese house. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth." "What truth?" "There is no housing in Japan." "There is no housing in Japan?" "Then you'll see that it is not the house that provides shelter in Japan, it is only yourself."

Yeah. That's not rain either. It's the piss of our robot overlords.

I feel like this is the kind of argument you can resolve in 30 seconds with Google, but maybe even that wouldn't work with her.

Tell her that "Turning Japanese" is their national anthem. She'll give you extra credit points for sure!

Going by what anime has shown me, all japanese people either live in apartments or buddhist temples.

Ok? All continents(besides Antarctica) have houses. If Africa got houses, why wouldn't the probable most advanced country have them?
