Health: Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks...

Today, I went back to school after missing the first 2 weeks of the new school year. I got grilled in my first lesson by my teacher for "gallivanting around on holiday in some sunny place" when I should've been at school learning. My dad had died from liver cancer. FML

Today, my teacher announced that he'd be out for a week because he was going to Vegas. I happily said, "Woo hoo!" Then he finished his sentence by telling me it was because his dad had died. FML

Today, I accused a student in my class of getting his dad to do his homework. It turns out that his dad died two years ago. FML

Today, my English teacher asked me why I didn't have my project completed. Thinking quick on my feet, I told her it was because my grandmother had just passed away. Apparently they go to the same country club and have known each other for years. My teacher started crying and ran out of the room. FML

Today, I had to go to my daughter's school because she hasn't been going to class. Her teacher seemed surprised to see me with my husband when we arrived. Apparently I "died" recently and my daughter has had extra responsibility around the house, hence why she doesn't come to class. FML

Today, after I missed in school for two and a half weeks, I also missed three tests. Now I gotta work for all of them during my holidays and read two books for school. My holidays are just gonna be like school, but with more work. FML

Today, I left for college. I spent hundreds of dollars on clothes, bedding and other things. After packing my entire closet and everything else I needed, I left only to have to head back home. My dad forgot to pay the first semesters tuition. He said "Oh well, you would have failed out anyway." 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, whilst cleaning out his desk, my dad "accidentally" threw away my summer homework. That's 100 pages, over a duration of 2 months. School starts in 3 days. FML

Today, I spent my first day with my parents for the first time in a year as I've been away at university. My dad went to work, and my mum spent the whole day playing mahjong with her friends as they all told me "how fat I've gotten" and how "boys won't like it". FML

This is probably one of those very rare instances where you could cuss out your teacher big time and get away with it... after you have explained to the head teacher that you father just died of course.

Im so sorry for your loss. I realy do hope you told the teacher right away. Maybe cryed a bit and ran of. but somehow you just always get stomped in that kind of situation. I know, my dad died a year ago.

for all the people claiming that two weeks was to much time you obviously have no idea what it feels like to lose a PARENT or like the ability to sympathize with someone elses situation and realize that everyone deals with grief and pain differently . so sorry for your loss

That's hard for you. I understand if you didn't just yelled it right in front of the class to make her look stupid, it's a really sad experience who some just don't like to share when it happened just a while ago. If you informed your school of what happened (which you probably did) they would have let the teachers know somehow but even then she could've not noticed it. It's wrong to just assume everyone goes on a vacation when school is about to start soon,which wouldn't be appreciated by the other students either (not a great way to start the semester), not to mention it's illegal. The teacher should've checked first.
