teachers

I believed that female teachers got to choose if they wanted to be called "mrs. or miss"

Both my husband and I used to believe that one day soon the Teachers would turn on the Lemonade for the drinking taps instead of them always just being water taps. (Well! What can I say? Us Aussies have always been BIG thinkers!)

in 3rd grade, my friend and i thought that one of out teachers (who we had never seen before) was an alien from mars, and that the closet with the blinky lights was his spaceship.

Wow, we were smart. In actuality, the teacher was new that year, and though we never found out exactly what the lights were, i can assure you, they're no spaceship.

in kindergarden my teacher pretended like our class hamster escaped so we could walk around like we were on a mission, it was fun, but when we asked the lunch lady if she'd seen him she said "oh better find him fast, we're serving lunch hamster for lunch!" later we found him (magically back in his cage) but i skipped lunch that day.

when i was 8 my dad told me that my teacher had a secret passage in a cabinet that led to the office. when you would go inside there was a guy who asked for a password.

weeks later i asked her, "what cabinet is the passage in?", she stared at me and then laughed. I was a confused little boy... :P

too gullible 4 you

I was in 2nd grade when the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded. I was in the office pretending to be sick when everyone started freaking out I only heard snippets of their conversation but concluded that the teacher on board was MY teacher since she wasn't at school that day. I wasn't sad about her though, I hated her. Mrs. Garfield if your reading this...you made my life hell.

I used to believe that teachers drove the schoolbuses too.

In elementary school, I used to think that the staff were hiding stuff (if I knew what at the time, I've since forgotten; it may have been captives) behind the mysterious locked doors that seem to be in every school.

As a young child, one of my friends and i decided for some reason, that all teachers turned into telephone poles at night. we asked our sports teacher if this was true. one night, while driving along, we noticed that one of the poles only had one light working and decided this must be our teacher, as she only had one eye, having lost the other in to a squash ball.

I used to think that teacher training courses only consisted of prospective teachers being taught how to have beautiful handwriting and that they practised doing their handwriting 24/7. It's just that teachers always had such perfect handwriting and I couldn't figure out how they ALL could. Furthermore, what else would primary school teachers need to be taught because they already knew everything there is to know about?!?

When I was in Kindergarten, the teacher said if you copied someone, your teeth would fall out. Now I understand that the teacher meant copying papers from other people.

One time the teacher elt us pick out what flavor chocolate we wanted and my friend copied what kind I got and I yelled "NO!!! YOUR TEETH WILL FALL OUT!!!" and she just said "Who cares, I already lost all of them."

Still have teeth
