Today, my students all handed in their 1,000 word papers. The assignment was for them to write about a strong, benevolent leader who influenced the world. Around half of the papers were about Hitler. FML

Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML

Today, I had my teacher look over my essay before turning it in. He said it was extremely well-written, so I handed it in. When I got it back, the feedback he left said it was one of the worst essays he'd ever read. FML

Today, I had to explain to half of my class that yes, my birthday is on the same day as Hitler's, but no, it does not make me a Nazi. FML

Today, my teacher gave me a 0% on my personal narrative in my writing class. His only comment on the whole paper was, "Too long, didn't read." FML

Today, I made a speech in front of my entire graduating class and their families, despite my fear of public speaking. It seemed to go well and I got a big round of applause at the end. Then I panicked and instead of waving, I lifted my arm straight out in a Hitler salute. FML

Today, as an introduction to the history of China, I asked my APA World History class to write a 500 word essay on a historical Chinese person. Out of a class of 18, five of them were about Mulan. FML

Today, I asked students to identify a woman that made a difference in history. I got several people answering Martin Luther King Jr. These are 9th graders. 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

My friend had a project in his AP history class that was titled 'Yay Hitler!'

>Implying he wasn't. His views may have been messed up, but as a person he was pretty chill.

How do you separate his views from his personality?

Yeah, Hitler killed a lot of people, but he was such a chill guy so it's alright. /Sarcasm

If your idea of "laid-back" includes spreading hate and misery to the entire world, by all means, stay the **** away from me #42.

Well he did mean well, he wished for his country to be free and the world to me unified

Well, if you asked him and his followers, I guess they'd claim he was quite benevolent. You know, freeing Germany from the poisonous influence of inferior and sick people and elevating the Aryan race to a more prosperous and strong standard, ensuring the survival of the fittest and a healthy, racially pure society. So either you have a bunch of budding Nazis in your class, or they're too lazy to actually read the assignment. Enjoy.

Hitler 100% was a strong leader who influenced the world. He was also evil and changed the world for the worse. I'm guessing those students were stupid and didn't know what benevolent means, not that they thought hitler was a great guy. Or they could be complete supremacist assholes.

I guess they just didn't know what benevolent means.

Benevolent - someone who is kind, caring, helpful, and is generally goodhearted. Malevolent - the opposite of benevolent, someone who is cruel, unkind, hurts others, and is generally evil. Are half the students Nazis or did they get the two words mixed up? Either way, I think we're doomed. O_O
