Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML

Today, my math TA showed the class how one of her "dumb" students answered a test question. Everyone laughed as she wrote out the students answer, including myself, until I looked down at my answer sheet and saw that I submitted an identical answer. FML

Today, I realized that my Twitter profile was very public when my business professor made fun of student tweets in class. My tweet went, "Totally bullshitting this business report" about the report I'd just handed in, worth a large portion of my grade. FML

Today, I found out I've miserably failed a college exam. My friend had agreed to pass me answers if I needed them, since I've hardly studied this year. We were on the phone when she said, "Oh, those answers were bullshit. Serves you right, huh?" FML

Today, I finally realized how stupid I am, when I answered a question correctly in class and my teacher started clapping and cheering. FML

Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML

Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML

Unfair failing

By Mistakes were made - 24/10/2022 23:00 - United States

Today, while I was taking a test in class, there was a question that had everyone stumped. After what seemed like forever, the teacher finally noticed and said he'd typed the question wrong. I spent more than half the time I had to complete the test on a question that wasn't even written correctly. Yes, I failed. FML

Today, I walked into an exam after having stayed up 20 straight hours studying. The professor looked at me and muttered, "Don't bother, I'm failing you either way." FML

That's not right, he shouldn't post that kind of stuff about his students online.

Report him to the dean and school board immediately. A professor has no right to do something like that.

If you can, file a complaint. That's pretty rude of him to do.

to many crybabies commenting. stop being so politically correct. the prof. has freedom of speech and he is exercising it. he didn't use your name. too bad.

Um, Canada has freedom of speech. Are you really so arrogant as to think you're the only free country in the world?

I saw that he was from Canada. they also enjoy freedom of speech. unless I missed something.

Canadian law allows for free speech - as long as the rights of others are being respected. Since it was OP's teacher (meaning he has authority over OP) and he made the comment in a public forum he can be prosecuted under Canadian anti bullying and harassment laws. That doesn't happen all the time of course, but if OP makes a complaint to the University the teacher will face a very real risk of losing his job (and possibly his teaching license) over this.
