Oh, that's a definite FML. Sorry to hear that. I can imagine how that feels. :(

For those of you who remark about speaking up, there are more than just elementary schools. Later on, many teachers and professors will just read their list and look for the class. It's inefficient to do roll call when they can skim the list much more quickly.

Same thing happened to me but it was during an exam and (until I corrected them) I got a fail because I was marked absent.

I didn't laugh at all. Go talk to a counselor.

That actually happened to me yesterday. Half of my class of 12 didn't noticed I was in class. How do you manage that?

#5, I've had professors (currently have one now) that don't call names to take roll. They just go through the roster quietly.

Don't worry, my homeroom teacher has marked me absent when I was there three times this year.
