Today, I told my students that I would be absent tomorrow because my wife was giving birth. They burst into applause... not to congratulate me on the new baby. FML

As a student, I would be clapping because when a teacher is absent we usually get a free period, so I don't think it's anything personal.

Congrats on the baby. Also, I'm a student don't worry, that's just the students job. It's nice to fall out of the daily routine and have a easier day. I remember some guys in my honors history class convinced the sub. that our teacher ends class early on Fridays. Then, spent the rest of the hour arm wrestling. #100 I agree, BrittBritt sucks. Honestly, your insults are childish. "Seriously" is being fairly polite and honest whreas your using degrading and childish language and comments. Honestly, GROW UP!!!!!

Kids are brats. They're regret it later. Although there could've been a few who were actually happy for you.

Well, obviously... What did you expect? It's paradise when a teacher is absent. I know it is rude, but after all they're just a bunch of typical rotten students.

That's not FML, that's normal teacher's life. Doesn't matter if they love you or loathe you, students will always enjoy a day off.

How could you know TODAY, that she was going to have the baby TOMORROW? Had to be a planned caesarean - which is not exactly "giving" birth, after all.

get over yourself kids do this with any teacher because subs don't make them do shit

when kids have subs, they get a free day...of course they're going to applaude. stop feeling sorry for yourself and enjoy your new baby.

I never liked most of my classes even if the teachers were nice.
