Today, my maths teacher was giving my whole class a lecture on 'if you don't pay attention at school, you will fail.' She then pointed out out a man working on the roof and said: 'if you don't listen, you will end up like that guy.' That was my dad. FML

i think it would be better to pay attention, or else you might end up as... her!

Your Dad probably earns more than that hack.

kind of late, but i would've snapped at the teacher. i have people close to me that do jobs similar to that, and if someone said that doing a job like that is meaningless they'd receive hell from me. All jobs are worth something, that teacher needs to stfu.

that is halarious cause my dads a roofer and since i live alone with him he pays all the bills and everything and still has money to spare, he probably makes her weekly wage in a day at least, stupid bitch

He probably makes more than she does.

"If you don't pay attention in school,you might just get a career that is vital to our society." It's so dumb how people "rate" jobs. If there were no carpenters,no trash men,no manual laborers,our society would fall apart. And society treats them horribly.

It's kind of funny because roofing involves a lot of math. I.E finding the area of the roof to get the right number of shingles etc.

My father had the same job. There's nothing wrong with a man who works his ass off to support his family. Btw my dad is a college graduate.

should have made her feel bad by telling her it was your dad and saying he had a degree but couldn't get employment even though he was top of his class

last time I read this it was a janitor in the hall who was the father.
