Today, I was a TA for a history class and the class was taking a test. About halfway through, I noticed one kid had a small piece of paper in his hand. I ran up the row, grabbed his test, and ripped it into four pieces. Then I took the note from him. It said "I believe in you, -Mom." FML

Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML

Today, I found out why my history grade is so low: the kid in front of me takes my homework, writes his name on it, and passes it off as his own. FML

Today, I attempted to cheat on a test by writing some notes on my hand. During the test I had a question. I raised my hand. FML

Today, I cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML

Today, I was passing notes in class with my crush. I started to pour my heart out and tell him about how I've liked him for years. I was caught by the teacher. He looked at it, laughed, and tore it up. He then looked at me and said, "I just saved you from years of embarrassment. You're welcome." FML

Today, we had a surprise test at school. I was totally unprepared for any of it, so I BSd the whole thing and turned it in. A few minutes later, our teacher said we were allowed to use our notes to finish the test. FML

Today, I was in my psychology class taking the hardest test ever. After I spent most of the period trying to fill in the few answers that I knew, I looked up to see everyone with their notebooks on their desks. It was an open-note test. FML

Today, I passed my math test with flying colors. My dad thought I had cheated, so he emailed the school and told them that I had. They lowered my grade. FML

Today, I went into my classroom to find a bag of shit on my desk with a note saying, "Thanks for failing me b*tch!" FML

Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML

While the kid should have a piece of paper out, you shouldnt have ripped up the paper....especially if its words of encouragement from his mother. I bet you wouldnt write workds of encouragement for your own kids.

@58- I doubt college children are thinking of themselves as "little kids." Furthermore, the kid shouldn't have this piece of paper. What did he expect? Sure, it may be a bit harsh to rip it up, but it's your job. Sorry though, that's a terrible situation.

Hey, you never know. That "I believe in you, Mom" might be code for answers on the test. Then again, you acted like a jerk. Nice one.

I'm not sure what kind of school these posters go to... but there is NO looking at ANYTHING during tests in New York State colleges. If you look to the left, you can get your test shredded. This TA did the right thing, I'd say this is more a FML for the kid involved because he was looking at a note from his mom. Plus, you never know... 'I believe in you - Mom' could be a ploy to cheat using a mnemonic device. You can't be too safe, especially if we're talking about college students.
