I used to believe…

When i was 7-8 years old, i used to believe that teachers lived in the school, i was thinking that teachers had secrets bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens in the teacher's lounge.
I've never seen my teacher leave school after the bell rings so i tought that teacher would stay after school and mark our homeworks before going to sleep.
One day, i was playing with my family in a park and i met my teacher with her family. So when we got home, i asked to my mom: "Do you think that my teacher and her family live in my school?".
My mom was confused so i told her that i tought teachers lived in school, but when she told me the truth i was a bit confused.

I used to believe that I would go to Hogwarts.

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.

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.

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.

I used to think that if you were sent to the head at school, you could escape from being in trouble by looking at a message on their tea or coffee mug, like 'you are kind of and caring, a wonderful person to your friends and family', for instance, as a way of flattering them. Well, it would be a lucky coincidence!

For some reason, I used to think the school playground had some sort of resemblance to a beach.
