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

Yeah, why would they applaud to congratulate you on the baby? You're their teacher, they see you as an assexual being who is at school for 7 hours, then climbs into a sealed chamber and hibernates until the next day.

u should prolly not be such a strict/annnoying teacher. trust me, i have 1 and we get so excited when shes absent. you totally deserve this

congratulations on the baby by the way Don't take it to heart. Kids always love it when the teacher won't be there, regardless of the class or the grade they're in. haha #45. I'm studying to be a teacher, so I guess I'll get to know how that feels when I get out of school.

Wow you're already 9 months pregnant & they're just now congradulating you on having sex. Wow sounds pretty exagerated & fake

Don't Worry dude, they're prolly just happy cuz they get to give to sub a hard time. Even if i'm not right, i Congratulate you man.......Congrats

What do you expect they're your students not your friends They're just happy they have a substitute so they don't have to do any work. Do you honestly think they would care about you having a baby?

Hey highschool can be stressful for students too. : D I don't think I ever applauded but I have like powerslid into the room from excitement when we had a sub. Think of it as a win win, you get the day off to see your newborn enter life, and they get a period off. = D At least it's for a good reason! An English teacher who was ALWAYS there was out one day which we all started to be happy about, unfortunately it was about a family emergency :( which of course immediately ended the happiness once we found out. Congrats on the baby, hope its healthy!

My mother and sister both teach. If the students don't like you, it's most likely because you actually do your job right. I hope everything turns out well with the child and your wife!
