In kindergarten, I thought the teacher was my mom. I wondered how she got to school before me without taking the bus.

When I was in elementary school, I thought teachers didn't go to the bathroom. Mine never did. I can't recall when I realized they did.

when i was in second grade, i had a really mean teacher named Mrs.Murden, the thing is that she was so mean that her students called her mrs.murder. there was a rumor going around the school (that i truly believed) that she had once called a kid up to the front of the class and stabbed him in the forehead with a pencil. after that, i tried not to get called up to the front of the class

I used to think my elementary school gym teacher's name was "Jim Class".

When I was in the 4th grade my teacher told me the definition to a word(I dont remember what word). Well, afterwards I looked it up in the dictionary and it was different from what my teacher said. I had so much faith in my teacher that I thought the dictionary was wrong! So I thought for a couple of weeks that the dictionary had mistakes in it, until he finally told me that he was wrong!

When I was in elementary school, there was an assembly. After one of the performances, one of the teachers yelled, "lets give these people a round of applause!" and she started clapping while moving her hands around in a circle, so I naturally believed that that was what a "round of applause" was. For years after that, whenever people mentioned a "round of applause", I would start clapping my hands in circles, wondering why no one else was doing it properly.

When i was little i used to believe teachers couldn't have a normal live and couldn't be mums and dads. Even in secondary school i had this belief. Then i started going out with a boy and to my horror found out his mother was my teacher when she walked in on me in his toilet. ooops

Being an academic freak, I used to think that teachers had the power to transfer their superhuman intellect to us students. So, one day when I was in grade 3, I went around the school asking teachers for their autographs so that if they liked me, they would make me smart.

When I was in kindergarten the teachers told us not to go in the "teacher bathroom". All it really was was a handicapped bathroom and it just had more space. Well our bathrooms were totally closed off (you couldn't see over, under, or from the sides) so I just thought they had a secret little "teacher place" in the "teacher bathrooms" with things like a restaurant, spa, etc. and they were trying to keep it a secret from us.

When I was in the 1st or 2nd grade, the nun told the class that if we wore our boots in the classroom it would harm our eyesight. I think I was an adult for a long time before I came to suspect it wasn't true. (Maybe it is.)

I guess I had it in my head that teachers were always at school and didn't have lives like us "normal" people. When I was in second grade I saw my teacher at the grocery store and it was so strange seeing her in a "normal" place like that.

I use to believe that the teacher is evil because they will turn me into a frog, if you are not behaving good.

i used to think teachers never go shopping untill i saw my teacher at school boy was i suprised!
when I was small (primary age) I thought that when we went home teachers cleaned up then sat down at a desk and just stayed there untill we came back.At the time I thought it all seemed absoulutely believable. I didn't think any different untill a teacher mentioned his wife.

I used to believe that teachers had sex with each other to create new teachers as they all seemed the same and that way they would always be smart.

I used to believe that my teachers didn't poop.

It was the first day of school at a new school in 6th grade. my history teacher told us that in all the smoke detectors there were cameras so when he lfet the room he could still see us so none of us ever talked or made any noise when our teacher left the class

I used to believe that teachers were a separate species, immune to feelings and every day problems. I didn't think they ever got sick. Now that I'm a teacher, I see that some beliefs never die!
