This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff
Mogadore, United States
Underfunded and underappreciated
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

Sounds like just about everyone on this site. "You made one mistake, you don't deserve to live."

It sounds* You can't be here anymore.

If y'all wanted to get technical, it would be "that sounds", not "it sounds"

And commas stay in the quotation marks.

Not always; it depends on the context.

Actually 44, it depends on the country.

Well, this thread was edifying.

It's pretty much everyone on the internet, not just this site.

#106 so true

It's a wonder how people like that even get hired.

Goddamn high school teachers.

On the admin. building of our local schools we had "shcool" on the sign. Sad thing was it was there for months
Bigfabthetruth52 22
Lord knows i would have told her about herself.although if i ended up getting a good grade i could care less what her hypothetical self thinks.

They probably were more engaged whike interviewing, but now that they have a job and authority they could give a rats ass. Great world we live in.

I bet she actually said "scool"
annie_nk 23
Or shcool.
mn_shr 22
Wouldn't it suck if it was Skool
tukies 28
For some reason or another I always misspell it as scholl. I just blame it on dyslexia, and move on.
Trivision 10
She was probably referring to Old Skool. What? You guys don't know Televisor? Anyone? Alrighty then. I'll go back to skcoll and study.

Skewl.

Actually, in Afrikaans (South Africa), school is skool. Even spelling school now felt wrong looking at all the possible ways the teacher could have spelt it. haha

I hope you at least pointed it out to her and did the same.
greeneyebeauty9 28
She herself is a great example of what you wrote about. Now point THAT out..
The_Tenth_Doctor 14
That's why you should make sure you're perfect before you judge people.
Sports_guy3 28
Nobody's Perfect. we all have our flaws.
greeneyebeauty9 28
I can't tell if you're saying the teacher needs to stop judging the student because she herself is not perfect, or if you're saying the OP needs to stop judging because they're not perfect? Hmm..
Sports_guy3 28
#23- I'm guessing the teacher. Or both.
coklara 15
But Hannah Montana told me that nobody's perfect...
askingandy 23
If you mean OP, I'm pretty sure he/she wasn't judging anyone specifically. Most of my teachers are great, buy I still think the education system is disgustingly ****** up.
kcjc777 8
My teachers, who are also great, even think it's messed up #59.
yellowaholic 25
Okay, Jesus.
skitzymew 19
I'm pretty sure the point of #9s post is that nobody is perfect so nobody has room to judge. The teacher tried to correct OP, but only made the same mistake OP did. If you're going to correct someone for their behavior (or spelling, in this situation) make sure you "proof-read" your life beforehand.

Sit down with your teacher and explain to her that you didn't mean the essay as an attack on her personally. It would be easy for her to take that the wrong way. It sounds like you just accidentally hurt her feelings.
sunnyray812 42
Essays are mainly about the students' opinions. There's no reason the teacher should get bitchy about it especially over one spelling mistake. Everyone makes that mistake accidentally.
Soulsbane96_fml 11
Essays about the students opinion? As a high school student, I laugh at your (sadly) incorrect statement.
littlekellilee 45
#32 I agree with you, but she's human, and high school is a notorious time for being back stabby and bitchy. Maybe the teacher just graded an essay titled "Why You Suck As A Teacher" and so was already a little sensitive towards her teaching abilities when she came upon OP's essay. Just because she's a teacher doesn't mean she's a robot. She should be completely neutral towards what they write because it's their opinion, but honestly, so few people actually are.
TheDrifter 24
I had a teacher say that they were neutral to the opinion of the writer. So I did a dissertation praising the visionary medical work of Joseph Mengele. She didn't think I was very funny. Failed me without a single grammatical error.

@#80 So much for that theory. Most people make things about them when they are insecure about the issue being discussed.
