Today, I came home to find my dad crying. Turns out my parents are getting divorced because my mom had an affair. With a teacher at my school. A female teacher. And the school isn't going to fire her because she's a good teacher. Every day at school I'm going to have to see her. FML

Why should the school board fire her? It's the teacher's private life and she's not having an affair with one of the students, so why should it be a problem at school? It's gonna be awkward for you and I understand that you must be really upset about it, but you not liking her shouldn't be a reason for her to lose her job.

Definitely FYL, but at the same time it's petty to wish that she be fired if she's a good teacher. You should probably switch schools if it makes you uncomfortable, but it's selfish to think that all the other kids should miss out on a good teacher just because she brings up bad memories for you.

I can see how this sucks for you, but the woman does not deserve to get fired for having a relationship (or sexual encounter or whatever) with a consenting adult...

I'm really quite tired of arrogant Europeans bashing the American system; considering that western European nations are incapable of growing economically on anything like American levels, have lost most of their political and military influence, are riddled with chronically high unemployment and bloated welfare states with unsustainable safety nets and ageing, shrinking, populations, I'm ok with the American system, even if we like our guns too much. At least the USA isn't swamped with unassimilated waves of angry Muslims, which is more than you can say for France. And yet the USA still attracts the most immigrants in the world, so it must be doing something right.

^^ for having a homosexual affair with a married woman, it's totally reasonable to fire the teacher. parents can and will complain.

@192: Complaints from parents do not warrant termination under any circumstances. The affair would not have any right, legal or otherwise, to fire her even if she were the worst teacher in the school. If the parents don't like it, they can take their kids out and put them in another institution. Their moral objections do not warrant the removal of a valuable faculty member or the jeopardization of her career.

But unfortunately a lot of schools would fire her because of those complains - though they would find another legal 'reason' to do so, no matter how small. They'd rather fire a good teacher then put up with complaints from parents. :/

this fml is ******* retarded, why would she be fired? she slept with another woman? and i kind of understand your dad being upset by his wife having an affair but you'd think he'd make the best of a bad situation and try for a 3some?

OMG that sux and is really very awekward! But better with a woman than a man, I hope?

if i were u id make that teachers life a living hell, u knw make ur story known to the whole school, that an completly bitching her out in front of everybody or during class...maybe then shell leave all by herself

umm sorry, but unless scissoring is better than a man using his hand or mouth, then sex with a woman is the same as sex with a man purely based on generalization. granted, women may for the most part know what women want better than men, but then shouldn't women simply tell men what they want? most men would do anything for their woman to have them ******. but most women are too insecure to talk about these things, which has nothing to do with me having a penis.

That is pretty much true. You can't blame the man for a woman not orgasming - you should blame the woman, because if she'd just speak up about what turns her on and what gets her off, odds are he'd be able to do it for her...assuming, of course, that he isn't an asshole in bed.
