Kids, Teachers and Work: You little shit

You little shit

By UN4 - 27/05/2015 16:25 - United States

Today, one of my students tried to bribe me $200 to change his grade. When I said no and told him he was lucky I didn't report him, he went to the dean and told him I offered to change his grade for money. I'm now suspended and under investigation. FML

Today, I stole a classmate’s graphic calculator because I couldn’t afford one. She reported it missing to the professor. He wouldn’t let anyone leave class until it turned up. Not even saying I had diarrhea had him let me go. In fact, he told me to empty my backpack right there and then. I’m suspended. FML

Today, not even a month into the new semester, I have a hearing at the Dean’s office for academic dishonesty. My classmate and “friend” who I’ve been doing online quizzes with at home (considered cheating) decided to throw me under the bus, all because I wouldn’t let her borrow $100. FML

Today, I was put on academic suspension only to find out my professor entered my grade wrong. I lost my financial aid and have to explain to my parents why I’m not in college anymore. FML

Today, I asked my teacher if he could tutor me for my upcoming exam. He said he'd look into it and let me know later. I later got called to the principal's office because my teacher claimed I'd propositioned him for sex. FML

Today, my college dormitory accused me of something I didn't do, breaking a law that I never heard of, charged me $200 to fix "what I did wrong", and is forcing me to go to counciling at the school. Not only was I not on campus when it happened, but I was the one who reported the problem. FML

Today, my college instructor told me I hadn't actually failed a big exam as he originally said. It turns out he'd mixed me up with another student. Now thanks to the power of gossip, half my class thinks I slept with him so he'd switch my grade with the other student's. FML

Today, after telling a student that she had to take the online test on the date that I had assigned, she whined to the vice president of the college, who then told my dean that he needed to do something about it. She made me offer testing days on multiple dates. So much for integrity. FML

Today, I gave my boss a gift card as a late birthday present, since I wasn't in the office on his actual birthday. He accused me of trying to bribe my way to a promotion, and suspended me on the spot. 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, during an exam, the guy next to me tried to cheat by looking at my test but was caught by the proctor. His defense was that no one would ever cheat off me. The proctor agreed and allowed him to finish the test. FML

While this sucks, you're an idiot, OP. You tell a student about discipline after you've done all the paperwork. Even when they're caught red-handed, they try to weasel out of it. Most of them are con men, plain and simple. Now that I'm done being an ass, here is better advice. Always have someone in the room transcribing the conversation when talking with a disgruntled student. This is what being a TA taught me. Students will try to find extra credit, a curve, or any other "edge" before working hard on what they are supposed to do.

WOW! Did the stupid dean look at your records?? I would talk to his other teachers. There might be another honest one.

whatever happened to kids just changing their grades themselves? This generation, I swear -.-" I hope you're fighting this OP or doing something and I hope that kid gets in trouble, it's kind of crap a Dean would take a runt's word over a teacher.

That's when you bite back and say, "When you prove that the student has lied, I want a full, written apology from the student" it's a he said she said :( Or you can seek legal advice and get a lawyer to write a letter, threatening court action. My concern for you is that this can affect your career and will always be on your records, true or not
