"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the nation for Richard Stands, one nation, under God, invisible, with liberty and justice for all."

I used to believe…

In pre-school, receiting the Pledge of Alleigance let me to believe that there was a very powerful man named Richard Stands ("and to the republic, for which it stands") who controlled the country, or possibly had the country founded as a gift to him.

when i was in kindergarten, i used to believed the teachers in school would set cameras in the kids' houses and spied on them. so everytime i got scolded by my parents, i would feel embarrassed to go to school because i thought the teachers would going to tell all the kids in school.

When I was in primary school, maybe 7 or 8, I was in a school assembly and our principal was making a speech. He was just joking around with us when he said one of the secretaries at the school was a ninja and that we had to keep it a secret. I really, truly believed the woman was a ninja and that if we told anyone, we'd get detention.

Before I even went to grade school, my brother told me that in Primary there were pirates. If you were bad, the pirates would get you. If you got something wrong, the pirates would get you.

I could just imagine:
"Whats 17+13?"
"...Umm...32?"
"YAAAAAR!"

I used to believe that the room number for a class was to indicate what grade was in the room. E.g. Rm. 5 - Gr. 5. I stopped believing this when I got to middle school and was in room 212.

I used to believe…

When I first started school, during the last 5 minutes before school ended for the day, a person would come on the loud speaker and say, "This is your 5 minute morning before dismissal" and that was our cue to get our schoolbags and coats on but I always thought they were saying "5 minute warning before this missle" so I was always like, "AHH! HURRY!" because I thought that if you werent out of the school in 5 minutes, they would fire a missle and it would kill us all.

In elementary school we had those white fold-up lunch tables. In 2nd grade they folded them up and moved them off to the side of the gym. In Gym class our teacher told us to stay away from them as we ran around the gym because if one fell on one of us she would have to send us home in an envelope. I thought that was true and would be neat to try so I ran close to them. Luckily I didn't try to pull on down on myself.

When I was in 1st Grade I belived that there was an indian barrial ground under the school and they were gonna come up some day and kill everyone in the school.I had told all of my friends and they belived me and some how the word got to one of the teachers and they had to tell me all about how it wasnt true.

At my elementary school, grades 1 and 2 would eat lunch and go up to the playground after they were done, and then at a certain time grades 3 and 4 would all walk down the hall at once to get to the cafeteria for their lunch. When they came down the hall it looked like a stampede to me. I believed if you didn't get up to the playground in time you'd get swept up in the "flood" of kids and get carried away.
Once two of my friends and I were standing in the path of the "big kids." Anna and Ryan were fighting and didn't notice the big kids. So I yelled, "ANNA, RYAN, THE 3RD GRADERS!!" and ran as fast as I could up to the playground. I still remember the way I said it... hahaha!

I used to go to a small Catholic school where one of the clases was Religion. Most of my friends, though, went to a public school. I didn't understand the difference between the two. When we would play "school", with one kid as teacher and the rest answering his or her questions, I would always become outraged that the "teacher" wouldn't ask Religion questions. I thought it was because the other kids were jealous that I got high marks in that class.

i used to think that a ruler would draw a perfectly horizontal on a piece of paper, no matter where u put it.i was always so impressed with people who could use a ruler because i wasnt so good at it.

I used to believe that teachers lived at school. They did not have personal lives and devoted their whole life to teaching little kids their abc's. I thought this was because nobody ever wanted to marry them. I got really confused when my 2nd grade teacher told the whole class she was engaged.

I used to believe…

I used to believe…

when i was younger my brother told me this story about how there had been a huge plague in our school years ago and that all the kids had died and their ghosts were still in the school and they lived behind the huge grate in the wall in the playground and in the attic, i believed this so much that i recited the tale to all my friends and insisted it was true cos 'my brother says so'!!!!!

i was a pretty gulible kid tho, my brother also had me believe that two people had been murdered in our back lane (he had the proof of their identity cards which were scattered amongst other papers in the lane, obviously some1 had just lost their stuff somehow) and one day on the way to school he said he'd seen their bodies hidden under a blanket in a passing car, he made me believe the story so much i even believed i'd seen the bodies in the car myself!!!!

He got into a load of shit tho when i woke my parents up screaming cos i was so scared the ghosts were coming to get me!!!!

When I was in 2nd grade I had a boy in my class that tended to ask many questions. One morning before we said the Pledge Of Allegience, the teacher asked us to put our hands over our hearts. The boy turned toward the teacher and commented,"Mine isn't as big as yours."

My mother is a primary school teacher and she takes the junior class in her school. We went to that same school. When my little brother was about to start school he was hyperactive and bad tempered. She really didn't want to teach him so she told him it was illegal for parents to teach their children. He still believes it.
