Today, I was a TA for a history class and the class was taking a test. About halfway through, I noticed one kid had a small piece of paper in his hand. I ran up the row, grabbed his test, and ripped it into four pieces. Then I took the note from him. It said "I believe in you, -Mom." FML

Today, I was taking the final exam for one of my classes. The teacher came over to my desk, grabbed my test and ripped it in half. Then he grabbed my hand and read the note I had written on it to remind myself to pay rent. FML

Today, I found out why my history grade is so low: the kid in front of me takes my homework, writes his name on it, and passes it off as his own. FML

Today, I attempted to cheat on a test by writing some notes on my hand. During the test I had a question. I raised my hand. FML

Today, I cheated on a math test by writing a couple of equations on my hand. Totally satisfied, I handed my test in, feeling like I had aced it. As I was heading toward the door, I happily waved goodbye to my teacher. She saw everything. FML

Today, I was passing notes in class with my crush. I started to pour my heart out and tell him about how I've liked him for years. I was caught by the teacher. He looked at it, laughed, and tore it up. He then looked at me and said, "I just saved you from years of embarrassment. You're welcome." FML

Today, we had a surprise test at school. I was totally unprepared for any of it, so I BSd the whole thing and turned it in. A few minutes later, our teacher said we were allowed to use our notes to finish the test. FML

Today, I was in my psychology class taking the hardest test ever. After I spent most of the period trying to fill in the few answers that I knew, I looked up to see everyone with their notebooks on their desks. It was an open-note test. FML

Today, I passed my math test with flying colors. My dad thought I had cheated, so he emailed the school and told them that I had. They lowered my grade. FML

Today, I collected my students' notes in class to check them. One girl, who is always drawing weird anime crap in her sketchbook, turned in just one piece of paper that read, "FUCK YOUR CLASS." FML

At my school you're not allowed to ask for an eraser without getting your test destroyed, even if the teacher knows what you're asking for. You had no reason to know what was in the note, and took the necessary precautions.

What is wrong with the other 36000 people that agreed and said his/her life sucks?! This is one of the most heartless things I have ever heard!

I'd have to say FML. Mainly because, you were just doing your job.

Aww poor kid. Everyone seriously needs to stop saying "OP is so heartless." "You have no soul." It's not like they would have ripped it up if they knew the note was from the kids mom. It was an accident and the only way it would be heartless is if she didn't let the kid retake the test.

In my school, if you get caught with a piece of paper with writing on it during a test, no matter what the writing is, you will get your test paper ripped up. If the student was told explicitly that having written notes is forbidden then what the OP did was perfectly acceptable. The student had no need to take out the note in the middle of a test, he could have just thought of what the note had said for encouragement.
