Today, it was the last day of school. My students shared what they thought of me. Expecting to hear wonderful things, all of their complaints can be summed up in a few words: I'm a liar, a killer of dreams, I need to grow up, and I was a big disappointment to them. I'm a first-year teacher. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, it was the last day of school, and I said goodbye to one of my students. She then told me how to correctly pronounce her name. I'd said it wrong all year. FML

Today, I ran into my favorite teacher from high school, the one that really inspired me to become one myself. I told her that I'm in my last year of college preparing to become a teacher, to which she replied, "Wow, they really are letting anyone have a crack at being a teacher these days." FML

Today, I started my first teaching job ever. As I was teaching, another teacher interrupted my class about 5 times because she thought it was her class. Not only did she ruin my confidence, her behavior caused my students to laugh at me. FML

Today, I went to my first class of the year. The first thing the teacher said was, "I hate this f*cking school." FML

Feedback

By fluent in two, unlike you - 25/03/2014 18:42 - Mexico

Today, the feedback my teacher wrote on my English assignment was so horrible that it took me half an hour and help from both my parents to decipher it. It turned out to be a scathing criticism of my "poor communication skills". I hate my teachers. FML

School's out for summer, thank God!

By reluctant teacher - 15/06/2019 19:41 - United States - Clarksville

Today, I had 15 teenagers literally laugh in my face when I asked them to be quiet. I'm a student teaching in a high school, which is the culmination of 2 years of my life and $20,000, and I might in fact actually hate doing it. FML

Descriptive

By Teaching26 - 15/05/2010 07:47 - United States

Today, I lectured my second-grade class to be more descriptive in their writing. I gave them an assignment to describe something in the classroom. I was grading their work later, and one student wrote, "My class is taught by a fat teacher with gray hair." FML

Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML

Today, the Chinese student I've been teaching English to got on stage in front of hundreds of people to read her final essay. She ended with, "What a fucking day." I don't swear, and I no longer have a job. FML

Today, I asked about 30 students and 3 of my teachers to sign my yearbook. So far, only my math teacher agreed to write in it. He wrote, "You need to try harder next year." FML

Teachers like you are the reason society has gone backwards. No wonder teen suicide rates are going up, teens living on the streets doing drugs and alcohol, get high off paint and petrol and then start graffitiying everywhere. Yea you should be shot. Jks, that sucks OP, should have brought them all cookies and ice-cream on their last day! Suddenly you'll be their favorite teacher!

They're just being douchebags. They just didn't like you because you were a teacher. All kids hate teachers.

you clearly dont even try to relate to your students at all. if you had tried to be a good teacher, and cared about your students rather than just caring about their learning, you would have already had some notion of what they thought of you and wouldve known what to expect.

Some people shouldn't be teachers. Sounds to me like OP is one such person. I used to teach traffic school. Everybody hates traffic school, but by the end of an 8 hour session most of my students were very impressed with me. You know what impressed them the most? Little amusing drawings on a dryerase board. They actually preferred that to the videos I would show them. On the other hand, back in high school my math teacher injured her arm very badly and they got student teachers to sub for her. I actually got worse grades because of it. They would give us complex pop quizes 5 minutes before the end of class. They would cover no new material. It was basically just review; but we were being tested on the new material we had not been introduced to. I stagnated for 5 long weeks thanks to these douchenozzles, and you better believe I ripped them a new one on their teacher evaluation. BTW, my strongest subject in high school was math. I was chosen as one of the top 6 math students in the county and HP even gave me a graphing calculator because of that. I was also the only one at my high school to take the calculus BC advanced placement test. Choose a new vocation OP. The world needs ditch diggers.

Teaching traffic school is nothing like teaching grade/high school. Traffic school is made up mostly of adults, not teens or children. And that's just one of the many differences. Terrible comparison. And being the only one at your school to take that test isn't exactly a merit for you, but a shame for your school. 12 of us took that test at my high school. Big deal. Hundreds of students take it nationwide every year. Congrats on being better than what seems like an average bunch.

I don't teach traffic school, dumbass. I used to do that a long time ago. Since then I went to POC, became an officer in the army, went to afghanistan and Iraq, did some stuff there that I'm not allowed to tell you about; but believe me, adults can be crueler than kids as evidenced by this page. And I dished it out just as they gave it to me, and still won them over. In the space of eight hours to change someone from hating you to loving you, I think that's quite an achievement any way you try to spin it.
