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

That's horrible, try taking this to the principal. It worked when my Spanish teacher did the exact same thing to me.

Was there a word/page limit? If so, YDI. If not, FYL.

I did that to my Literature teacher once. She was PISSED

WTF?!!! How old is your teacher? 12 ?!!! "didn't read" means he / she didnt do their job, plain and simple. They have no business grading an assignment if they didn't read it

I love how split the comments seem to be. You can tell the educators/those who understand what teachers are required to do, from those who have never had 150+ students to look after. I taught middle school and I was always sure to set a word or page limit when giving an assignment. Otherwise, I'd end up with some students turning in a paragraph, while others wrote their own novella. I can understand why OP would be upset and he should definitely speak with his teacher to see if he can redo the assignment for at least partial credit (if there was a page limit). Even personal narratives should have a page limit; otherwise it could take weeks for the grades to be finished. The only time I refused to let a student redo an assignment was if they consistently refused to follow instruction...

Such a lazy comment on a detailed paper

I have a feeling your teacher is a redditor.

Next time you have a reading assignment in that class just don't do it and tell him, "too long, didn't read". Also, report him to the Dean because that is unacceptable behavior and he shouldn't be allowed to teach if he's going to behave like a child. Signed, an English Major and Teacher's Assistant.

That is super ******. Go to the principal.

Wow. That teacher needs to be fired. Because that's just wrong on his part. Tell him to get a job being something else other than a teacher, because he clearly needs to get a different job.
