Today, my science teacher decided not to recommend me for an honors science class for next year. The reason? Last week, I made the mistake of asking whether spray tans give vitamins in the same way as the sun. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a science test. A question asked, "What is the first stage of photosynthesis?" I didn't know, so just trying to be light-hearted, I wrote, "The plant must first believe in itself." My teacher didn't think it was funny, and gave me detention for insulting her intelligence. FML
Today, during science, my friend thought it would be funny to pour corrosive acids into the reaction test I was making. I had to explain to my parents why I have no eyebrows, but the worst part is that I only got a D. FML
Today, as a science teacher, I did a science experiment in front of a class. One of my students asked me if it was "photoshopped." He was being serious. FML
Today, I asked my college chemistry teacher for some much-needed help. Instead of explaining anything to me, she scoffed that if I don't understand something, I should "just Google it." FML
Today, although I received a good grade for my science project, it was disqualified for the science fair that I'd hoped to enter. A beautiful scale model of our solar system was ruined by the Cro-Magnons in one of the other classes; I found pieces of it scattered all over the classroom. The teacher did nothing. FML
Today, my math teacher decided to use my acne as an example of symmetry in front of the whole class. FML
Today, I was called a wimp for getting a sunburn. FML
Today, my math teacher decided to give everyone in the class candy. He skipped me, and when another student pointed it out, his response was, "I don’t like her." FML
Today, a student set me on fire while I was lecturing my class about proper lab safety. FML
Today, I was taking a biology final and was just randomly tapping my pencil. My teacher thought I was somehow communicating with the person next to me, and decided to fail me. FML

Yes, they do. The orange color comes from smashed carrots, and your skin absorbs the nutrients. Come on now. That's common knowledge.

And you wanted to be in the honours class?... Special Ed seems more your speed.

So the teacher decides that because of one stupid question, you don't deserve to go to honors class. What a great person.

Equating spray tan to the complex reactions that take blace when your skin absorbs light shows no understanding of science whatsoever.

She wants the D! Vitamin D! In a can!

Because you should always base whether or not someone deserves a recommendation on one question rather than their body of work. Your teacher sounds like a super chill guy, OP.

Sounds like you'll be joining that one dude's fiancee in the photosynthesis diet...

don't fret, everyone asks stupid questions. And you've gotta ask questions to learn sometimes.

The answer to this question takes very little thought to come up with. Spray tans are not sunlight in a can so they cannot produce the reactions that sunlight does when it hits the skin.

That was a mistake.

Sometimes you just gotta get the dumb questions outta the way.
