Today, as I was yelled at by a middle school teacher in front of 30 6th graders for breaking the rule of "no cell phones in school." Luckily, I escaped being sent to the office after explaining I'm a 21 year old college student doing student teaching observations, not a middle schooler. FML

Today, my teacher yelled at me for using my phone in class. I apologized out loud, knowing that it would help me get off easier. She was yelling at somebody else. FML

Today, at school, I got stuck in the elevator and was about to panic before I remembered I had my phone. I called my mother and she called the school to tell them that I was stuck. They got me out in a few minutes and then confiscated my phone and gave me two detentions for using it in school. FML

Today, I was giving a lecture to my class I heard a phone go off. Aggravated and exhausted, I asked everyone to turn their phones off. Then the phone rang again. I lost my shit and spent the next half hour calling my students a bunch of "technology whores". Then I realized the phone was mine. FML

Today, at my job as a fourth grade teacher, I realized that most of my students have far nicer and more expensive phones than I can afford. FML

Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML

How to make a sociopath

Today, I went to my job as an aide for first-grade students. I went home with a swollen face after my student punched me because I was, "making the timer go too fast" and he wanted more iPad time. FML

Today, I got sent out of the class for "inappropriate" behaviour. The teacher later forgot about me and sent a notice home to my parents stating that I skipped class. FML

Today, at school I was sitting with a friend outside, talking about irregular periods and unshaven legs. Ten minutes into the conversation, a teacher sticks her head out the window above us and tells us to leave. We were distracting a classroom who were trying to finish a test. FML

I'm glad you're getting your lessons in double standards and hypocrisy! I'll bet you smugly chew gum in class (and didn't bring enough for everyone!)

I know how you feel. I worked as a TA at my former HS for 4 months last fall and got escorted to the front desk for suspiciously walking around. I'm 23, had a scheduled appointment and they didn't believe that i wasn't a student.

I had a 20-year-old student teacher in sixth grade, and someone at school seriously asked her if she was a sixth grader. It's not really an FML, but that is embarrassing.

I'm 28 and get mistaken for a 14 year ALL of the time. When I was doing my field observations for teaching (around age 23/24), the secretary would scream at me every time I signed the visitors log instead of the tardy student sheet - she never did catch on even though I was there every week. While it means I pay child prices for most things, strangers often talk down to me because they think I'm a teenage

I'm glad there are teachers out there keeping kids in line. #60 there was nothing said about texting, the phone may have just been on the OP's belt or something.

Meh. I'm a senior in high school and I went to pick up my brother from his elementary school. One of the teachers thought I was a student. Same thing happened to my mom one time when she went to pick up my sister. Except she got yelled at for not being in class. I honestly don't think either of us look that young...just sayin...

YDI. No cell phones in school = no cell phones in school. How do you except that the students will obey that rule if even the teachers (ot teacher-to-be) don't?
