school

When I was young, I used to believe we had to stay at school from nursery school to the final exam without going back home. When my uncle said that's to me, I was afraid of the school and when my first day happen, I didn't want to leave my mother and I started crying! But the teacher took me into the school. Despite the fear, the day was well and in the evening, when I saw again my mother I was suprised and at the same time I didn't want to leave my teacher and the school because finally I loved my day!

I used to think boarding schools
Were literally just schools taking place at night, like if a nursery school was called a night care centre, instead of a daycare centre.

I used to think that teachers always had to officially announce to the whole class why someone was off sick.

I thought that all my classmates are my cousins.

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

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America into the republic one nation under God until the very justice of all.

It really works

I didn’t think pi was an actual number, and that my classmates were pulling the teacher’s leg when they used it, and I thought they were saying “pie” to make math equations that made no real sense. I then said “TV + Jar Jar…” and didn’t even answer, recess was next.

When I first started elementary school, I remember thinking that when kids went to the nurse she took their temperatures rectally because that was the only way my mom ever did it at home. When I got sick I opened my whole mouth. I didn’t get the “under the tongue” thing.

I used to think that if you met someone nice abroad, that everyone really liked, they would appear in school after the holidays, and become your new teacher.


Maybe because of how you learn Greek and Latin in the Mediterranean.
