Today, my AP teacher once again accused me of plagiarism. Apparently the words "demise," "ultimately," and "rural," are too sophisticated for an 11th grade AP student to use and MUST have been copied from the Internet. FML

Today, I turned in an overdue English assignment at college. My instructor accused me of plagiarism, writing that my sentence structure was "TO" good. Seriously? FML

Today, I got cited for "internet plagiarism" and called to the dean's office. I'd been sitting a closed-book written exam, and my teacher had been breathing down my neck the whole time. FML

Today, at school, I got in trouble for plagiarizing on a paper. The subject of said paper was where I see myself in ten years. FML

Today, my teacher called a friend and me out of class and told us we had been reported for plagiarism because our answers to a problem were nearly identical, and he said that I shouldn't have shared my work. This for an assignment where significant marks were awarded for collaborating with peers. FML

Today, I got yelled at for 10 minutes by my head of department for failing one of my students for plagiarism, because, "we can't be sure." It was my work he plagiarised, but because it's not in our system, it doesn't count. FML

Today, I got an A+ on a writing assignment. My teacher asked me three times if I really did write this article myself, and didn't memorise an article from the Internet. FML

Today, I got a paper back that was given a zero for suspected plagiarism. Everything I wrote was my own thought and analysis. My instructor basically thinks my paper is smarter than I am. He won't listen, even when I explain my thought processes throughout the piece. FML

Notebooks out, plagiarists!

Today, I collected my students' final essays. One of them submitted a printout of a screenshot he took with his phone. Too bad a browser address bar was still in the shot, along with a "click to read more" link at the bottom. My students are too dumb and lazy to even plagiarize properly. FML

They told me four letter words were complicated for eighteen year olds, but then again the room they kept me in was pretty dark and I was alone.

If you attend a public high school I completely understand, yet I feel sorry for you. Our education system is embarrassing.

I'm glad I'm fortunate enough to attend a private school :/. According to recent rankings I saw the United States is 14th in reading, 25th in maths, and 17th in science. :(

The education kids receive today is very sad. I am home schooled, which sucks in some cases but is wonderful in others.

Well wouldn't you rather be home schooled than be taught by someone who thinks that rural, demise, and ultimately are difficult words? :|

it's that sort of thing where I'm grateful for my home schooling. But the social life sucks, I hardly know anyone my own age. Most of my friends have already graduated or coming to there time of retirement.

those aren't even difficult words...I used those when I was in seventh grade... either your teacher is a complete retard or your school is filled with dumbasses. fyl
