teachers

substitute teachers....I had many strange beliefs about these odd people. The first time I heard of a substiture teacher I was about 5/6, and was told I'd be having one for a while. I thought that substitute teachers were robots, and found it amazing that my substitute teacher looked so normal. I then came to think that the substitute teacher was simply too normal to be a robot. So decided that instead it was a sort of clone of a real teacher. I believed that when people were made into teachers they had to have a clone of themselves made, so that there would always be enough substitue teachers. I somehow learnt that this wasn't true though. I then thought that they all lived together in a big house or factory type place miles and miles away..and they had to stay there all the time, just waiting around for a real teacher to phone up and say they were sick so a substitute would have to come in

When i first started school when I was 4, I believed the principal would report you to the cops and you'd go to jail.

When I was young, in kindergarten or grade 1 or so, I couldn't fathom that teachers were people with houses too. I couldn't believe that they got to school before me and stayed at school even after I left. I believed that they lived there, and slept on the desks.

When I was in second grade, I thought that a third grade teacher, Mr. Thomas, was actually another third grade teacher called Mr. Brock. I thought this because every time I passed Mr. Brock's class, I saw Mr. Thomas walking out of it. When Mr. Thomas turned out to be my teacher next year, I must've sounded pretty dumb saying that he looks like Mr. Brock. By the way, Mr. Brock is black and Mr. Thomas is white.

In seventh grade, my best friend Tess and I used to
believe that the evil home and careers teacher Mrs.
DeCotis, wore a wig because her hair bounced up
and down. We also believed she rode on a broomstick because she lured kids into her house and supposely ate them. In eight grade my teacher
Mrs.Male told us she actually wore a wig! But the
broomstick flying and eating kids wasn't.

I used to believe that teachers drove the schoolbuses too.

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.

I had this really awful kindergarten teacher. I mean, she was just dreadful, so to most people, it came as no surprise when she was fired the next year. My peers and I, however, thought that she had died and was now a ghost that lived in the attic of our school (it used to be a house), and looked down at us through the ceiling lights. It made sense at the time, seeing as no one was allowed into the attic, and until forth grade, my classmates and I were terribly scared of the ceiling lights.

I used to believe that teachers never smoked or drank because i never see them do it in their car/the school/or the parking lot!

When I was little my mom used to tell me stories of when she was little and in "grade school". Then one day in 5th grade my teacher told us a story of when SHE was in "grade school". I though--OH MY GOSH, MY MOM AND HER WENT TO THE SAME SCHOOL TOGETHER! I almost raised my hand to to announce this fascinating coincidence to the class. But I was too shy. good thing

When I was really young in public school...we had a principal named Mr. Ritchie.
For some strange reason...I thought that all principals of all schools were named Mr. Ritchie.
Funny...a mind with little experience...amazing what it comes up with!

at the school staffroom,i saw a new teacher marking her books. i went pass her and said hi but she didn't respond(as i said this very clearly,she won have problems hearing it)so from then on i thought all new teachers were deaf...0_o

I thought when we had quiet time in class, the teachers all went to the teachers' lounge and played naked pattycake.

In primary school, I thought the nursery teacher wasn't allowed to come into the main school and got supposedly 'upset' when seeing her in assembly with the 4-year-olds, because I hadn't expected to see her again after 2 years like that!

My cousin TJ is 4 and lives in Italy, although he is American. He goes to a school for toddlers taught by nuns. We always knew they didn't like him much, and his parents discovered why when he waved at a passing nun one day. "Man, Mom!" he said. "Those nunions didn't even wave to us!" Undoubtedly this played a part in their dislike...

my teacher had no life other than teaching us kids

In kindergarten, i had the most AMAZING teacher ever. she was funny, and sweet, and kind. she was my favorite teavher ever! (although she was my first considering it was kindergarten). Anyways, so when i got to grade one, i thought she was my teacher again! i was so excited to get to class on the first day, only to ind out that i get this different teacher? i was NOT a happy camper. i spent the first day of school crying my eyes out! then i made a friend and grade one was good again!

This one time at school we had a thing where we had to listen to people give opposing viewpoints on various issues. One was "should teachers be tenured". Having never heard that word before I thought they asked "should teachers be tender" and thought "what a weird question"

When I was younger, I used to believe that the school cantine's miss was a robot.
