school: classes

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 thought that all my classmates are my cousins.

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.

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

When i was in primary school i used to believe that in the last bathroom there was an evil clown

In our school nativity play, the teacher shouted out 'choir!' when we had to sing Silent Night, but I thought she said 'quiet!', so everyone looked at me when they were singing, and I didn't join in! Talk about heavenly peace!

I used to think the writer's workshop lessons we had in primary school would be like some of carpentry or DIY workshop, and pictured a man from somewhere like Homebase or IKEA coming into the classroom, and saying 'who are these people in my workshop?!'

I used to have this very strange idea, not sure why exactly, that there was some sort of plagiarist law for schoolkids about quoting book characters in certain situations, so when I was 11, in year 6, I had this cringe-worthy incident when we heard the word 'bossy' used in a school lesson that was being read to us in English class, it brought back this memory of when I'd randomly told two classmates to 'stop being bossy', although they weren't really, I was just quoting someone from a book that I thought of at the time, and I managed to discreetly cry about it in the next lesson, until a boy saw my tear-stained face at lunchtime, and luckily he wasn't interfering enough to actually tell on me, because he'd just noticed, but then everyone did, and the headmistress and dinner lady believed that I had really been 'bullied' escpecially when I didsn't want to name anyone, since it was all made up, and I certainly didn't want anything to happen to me or anyone, both started panicking about me, thinking I'd really been 'bullied', when I tried to explain this phobia I had and had to convince them that it really was just made up!

I used to believe that when the teacher said 'work hard at school' it meant writting with your pen pressed down as hard as possible... It therefore confused me when l was punished for the results of my 'hard work' which was a writting exercise book torn by the excessive force l was exerting on the ball point pen.

I used to believe, instead of in a weekday/weekend pattern, whether or not there was school on a certain day was totally ranfom.

I once randomly thought out loud that school days were 14 hours long, only to find out that it's actually 6. No idea why.

I used to think that going to university would be like going to boarding school, hence the fact that you stay overnight. No wonder I never had a chance to go.

You know those shirts you wear in school for P.E which say "physed"? For the longest time I misread it as saying "psyched" and wondered why they had the kids shirts that said that.
