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 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, in science class, I was bored and playing with a paper towel, dipping it into a container of water. When my teacher caught me and asked what I was doing, I panicked and said I was "drying the water." FML

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

Today, as a natural science teacher, I was drawing a uterus on the class chalkboard. One of my students started messing around and being noisy, so I shouted, "Be quiet and check out my uterus!" FML

Today, while teaching my high school class about astronomy, I showed them a picture of earth from space. One girl raised her hand, and asked me what the "white things" were. In other words, clouds. FML

Today, in physics class, my teacher was messing around with an air cannon and I accidentally blurted out, "Blow me!" It took me all of 5 seconds to realize why everyone was laughing. 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, my professor asked me a question in class. Thinking it was a rhetorical question, I shrugged and said, "Google it." It wasn't. He stared at me in silence for the longest 10 seconds of my life. FML

It amazes me how some of these kids have no perception and differentiation of reality and virtual reality... Or is this all a lie? Are we in the matrix?

quit being so quick to judge. I bet all of you have said something stupid without thinking about it at some stage in your life. Also lots of teachers posting about dumb students... Gee if only there was a place where young people who lack knowledge could go to shall we say be 'educated?' Perhaps in an environment where they are not mocked for lack of knowledge? Hmm an interesting idea

Whilst this is somewhat true, do realize that school is there to teach them things like mathematics, English, and give them valuable skills for adult life. School is not there to explain to kids that Photoshop doesn't work in real life.

What startles me is why he didn't post an FML

Hopefully you're a teacher in elementary or middle school, then they atleast have some hope left.

Well, "photoshopped" has probably lost its association with the image editing program for younger generations, much like the floppy disk image for any "save" icon, or "googling" something to conduct any online search. Language is a living thing.

My reaction would have probably been to assign the class to write a 5 paragraph essay explaining the details of how in the experiment caused the reaction and have the student in question include a sixth paragraph on what photoshop is and how to use it.
