Today, one of my students tried to bribe me $200 to change his grade. When I said no and told him he was lucky I didn't report him, he went to the dean and told him I offered to change his grade for money. I'm now suspended and under investigation. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I stole a classmate’s graphic calculator because I couldn’t afford one. She reported it missing to the professor. He wouldn’t let anyone leave class until it turned up. Not even saying I had diarrhea had him let me go. In fact, he told me to empty my backpack right there and then. I’m suspended. FML
Today, not even a month into the new semester, I have a hearing at the Dean’s office for academic dishonesty. My classmate and “friend” who I’ve been doing online quizzes with at home (considered cheating) decided to throw me under the bus, all because I wouldn’t let her borrow $100. FML
Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML
Today, I asked my teacher if he could tutor me for my upcoming exam. He said he'd look into it and let me know later. I later got called to the principal's office because my teacher claimed I'd propositioned him for sex. FML
Today, my college dormitory accused me of something I didn't do, breaking a law that I never heard of, charged me $200 to fix "what I did wrong", and is forcing me to go to counciling at the school. Not only was I not on campus when it happened, but I was the one who reported the problem. FML
Today, my college instructor told me I hadn't actually failed a big exam as he originally said. It turns out he'd mixed me up with another student. Now thanks to the power of gossip, half my class thinks I slept with him so he'd switch my grade with the other student's. FML
Today, as a teacher, I saw a younger boy kick an older boy in the crotch and I reported it in our online system. Despite typical consequences for violence (automatic suspension), the department head, a drinking buddy of the boy's parents, gave him only a single detention. Now, the department head is harassing me for reporting the incident. FML
Today, after telling a student that she had to take the online test on the date that I had assigned, she whined to the vice president of the college, who then told my dean that he needed to do something about it. She made me offer testing days on multiple dates. So much for integrity. FML
Today, a student told me to "F*** off!" I reported it to my boss and the student's parent, who is also a teacher at the school. My boss deemed it a minor issue and said we wouldn't be following discipline policy. Now, my boss frequently visits my classroom to bully me, likely due to the two of them being drinking buddies. FML
Today, I gave my boss a gift card as a late birthday present, since I wasn't in the office on his actual birthday. He accused me of trying to bribe my way to a promotion, and suspended me on the spot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No. You're sickening.

In theory, yes. In reality, hell no. Bribery and sexual assault are completely different.

No. Pipe the **** down.

Ruin someone's career because you're too lazy to accomplish your own grades? Maybe just stick your head in the ground and hope for the best

You do realize this teacher will never be able to teach anywhere. Ever. Why would you do that on purpose?

They'll figure it out. School administration tends to give the benefit of the doubt to the faculty, and since he can't prove it, nothing will probably come of it.

Any good institution will clear you and believe you over some college student that for all we know could have a history with something like this.

hm, aside from it's a shitty thing to do. Nevertheless, it was smart and it took guts. he made the right move... if you report him now it is meaningless and he can doubt your objectivness if you fail him. well played.

Smart and bold? Maybe. Morally bankrupt? Definitely.

Fight fight fight for yourself. Don't let a moronic delinquent ruin your career. Check with other teachers to see if he has ever done this before. Because if he asked you to change his grade I am quite sure he has a history of trying to buy his way out of things. Good luck.

Next time, just take the money and still fail them.
