Today, the kids I teach informed me that I had spelled my name incorrectly on the board. I looked at it and assured them that I had spelled it correctly. I'm 22 and a graduate student, they're six and mentally challenged. Guess who was right? FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

FAIL. However, look at the bright side. You're teaching them how to spell correctly. At least THEY knew how to spell your name.

Your EQ is clearly not high enough to pity those who are mentally retarded. I am sick of you people who think you are smart and don't give a damn to those who are mentally retarded. They are BORN like that. They didn't want to be retarded. They think your name is spelled incorrectly because they have seen a similar name before elsewhere, and did not know that names can be spelled differently. What you should have done would be to explain that names can be spelled differently. If you are a teacher, then I hope you won't be teaching my kids in future.

She was saying the handicapped kids were right. Her name is normally spelled like everyone else's but she spelled it wrong and they noticed
