teachers

A primary school teacher once told me that if you looked behind the ears of new born babies you’d find a small curving relic scar. It’s where our gills used to be and has been passed down through the generations from when the first fish-like creatures flapped onto the land. I’m still tempted to check even now, though I’ve never found those scars…

In 4th grade, my teacher told us we only had 2 minutes to go to the bathroom...so what did I do? Got in trouble in the hallway for running to the bathroom!

I used to believe the principal had a spanking machine in his office.
My Aunt Wilma told me the spanking machine at my cousin's school had an electrical short, and the shock you got hurt worse than the spanking, until they got it fixed.

When I was real little, I had a habit of chewing on wooden pencils. All my pencils had teeth marks all along the barrels. My teacher, whom I loved and trusted, told me that if I didn't stop, trees would grow in my stomach and the doctor would have to do surgery. I quit chewing pencils--I really believed what she told me!!

when i was 5, i got terrified by the thought of starting at school. that was because i believed the teacher would hit me in front of the class, if i gave the wrong answer to a question.(fortunately it didn`t turn out like that!)

i used to believe that my Kindergarten teacher was an old lady who was there to show us how much knowledge you gain by a ripe old age....she was 25 at the time...now that i'm 40....she doesn't seem to have been so old any more....

I used to believe that my friend, a girl who was one year older than me, had an "affair" to my teacher.. I told all my friends that they had kissed, I really don`t know why.. I believed this for many years! Maybe it was because I found him handsome myself ?

I used to believe that teachers cut off student's fingers with the fans they kept in the front of the classroom if they were caught using them for addition.

In Kindergarten, one of the teachers at my school died in a car accident. This happened around the same time as the Challenger Disaster, and it wasn't until my teens that I realized the teacher that died in the shuttle was not from my school.

I've always possessed a sharp memory, even of certain events from when I was 2 years old.

Back when I was 3 I remember hearing a conversation between two staff members.at my pre-school.

There was a guy who had been working there who suddenly was gone and one of them said "he'd been "fired".

I remember thinking that he was burned at the stake or something.

Why a 3 year old would have seen a visual depiction of "burning at the stake" is beyond me, but thinking back now when I heard the term "fired" that was always what came to mind.

When I was in primary school there was this teacher called Mr S. Everyone said that when you were in his class and you were bad, he'd hang you up on the coat-hook on the back of his door. He did threaten to 'hang us from on high' a couple of times, so it was partly his own fault we believed this.

i dont really know why this happened, cos the teacher was seemed pretty normal before this occured. i said to my friend at primary school "i have a bun", he ran off and said to the teacher that i said "bum" and she gave me a lecture. i was 7.

When I was in preschool, I once asked a teacher who was vacumning the carpet whether or not a small child like me could be sucked up by the vacumn machine. She, having either misheard me or having thought it was a stupid question, responded with a "yes."

For the next year or two, I would always leave the room when any vacumn was being used.

I got in trouble once in school for rolling my eyes around while the teacher was talking. She told me that I was unscrewing my eyeballs and if I wasn't careful they would fall out. I got sent to the principals office after that - I was afraid after what my teacher told me- so of course I screwed my eyes around the other way...
