classes

When we explained to our son that he would be starting school soon, he asked how long he had to stay there. We explained he would go to school until he was about 16. He started to cry - he didn't realise he would come home every afternoon- he thought he had to stay at the school until he was 16

when i was in about 4th grade, i was certain that three of the guys from my class were living outside my window every nite. i was always really afraid that they were watching me, so i had to change in the closet, and put a sheet over my window

The lady who babysat me as a kid had three older kids of her own. I remember her once asking her daughter what she had learned in school that day. The daughter replied, "I learned that X equals 7!" I became convinced then, that all letters corresponded with numbers and this was something you had to memorize when you were in the higher grades. I spent the rest of the day wondering what number "A" was.

Funny thing is, I told my husband about this and he had a very similar experience after asking someone what "Algebra" was!

me & my mate were about 14 or 15 and had to take the class register back to the staffroom. as we were sauntering along the corridoor my mate turned to me and said imagine if the register was blue instead of red, everyone would call it a blue chester. yes it took some time to explain is was a reg ister and not a redchester

still can't believe her

In kindergartern we were told by the "big kids" that if we got sent to the office, we'd get spanked with an electric paddle

I had an odd notion that Kindergarten was a school underneath a garden, and they made you eat veggies and drink tomato juice. I was frightened at the thought of going to a school like that...

My Elementary School was a part of a University, so we always had student teachers, and there were mirrors near the cealing that people could see through, and could quietly observe. We called them the magic mirrors.

Whenever I wanted to do something bad, I couldn't, cause I was afraid that the monsters who sit behind the magic mirrors would eat me for being bad. I also thought that Santa used the magic mirrors.

my friend used to belief people who bought lunch were poor. she thought this because the people who bought lunch were all from apartments. (turned out, they were GOOD apartments, and it makes mroe sense to bring lunch if you're poor)

When I finished kindergarten and it was summertime, I thought I would never go back to school again and it was over forever.

i used to stay at school late because we gave a teacher a lift home, my mum would use the staff loo and i thought that this was the right thing to do. so the next day at school i used the staff loo but couldnt quite figue out why i had been told off because if my mum did it i thought it was okay to do so myself.

Until recently, my friend did not know what CCD was. When I told her I had attended CCD classes, she laughed and said, "You're such a retard!" I asked her why, and she replied, "Well, CCD is for dumb kids, right?"
