I remember when I was in grade school and the teacher would stamp our paper with a stamp that said dynamite I didn't know what dynamite was. I thought it was some kind of animal!

My elementary school had 8 grades with 4 classes each. So when I was 1st grader (1st class accidentally) I used to believe that students have to study every class in every grade. And that was 32 years of elementary school. Imagine my tragedy!

in seventh grade, my sister convinced this boy in her class that grover cleveland, the only president to serve two nonconsecutive terms, had a twin brother named clover who also became president. armed with this information, he eagerly raised his hand in class when the teacher mentioned cleveland and said "those are the cleveland twins, right?"

when i was in kindergarden, i had this elaborate fantasy that little, cartoon-style mice in little mouse clothes lived inside my school desk. i could hear them hammering or playing music if i put my ear to the desk. the sounds were actually caused by the echoes of any noise that someone scraping or banging on the desk made, and some of my brighter classmates used this to mess with me.

At the beginning of Kindergarten, my teacher told us that each week a student would become star of the week. That night I looked up at the sky trying to figure out which one was actually a kid.

I don't know where this came from, but when I was in second grade I started getting horrible panic attacks and developed a serious separation anxiety with my mom and had problems at school. (we still don't know why) But I thought that if I went into the middle stall in the bathroom at the school and started talking my mom could hear me. Bizzare, but it always made me feel better!

On my first day of school, I wanted to hurry in and find a seat in the first row - I thought the 1st row was for grade 1, the second row for 2nd grade and so on... Because I was tall, the teacher had me sit in the back... I was to shy to say anything, but I was very worried!

I used to think that if my mom was late to pick me up from school the teachers would chain me to the fence and go home!

In the first grade, I heard one Mom talking to another Mom, bragging about how her child had gotten "straight A's"
I examined my own perfect report card very carefully, quite upset that my A's might not be straight.

When I was in playschool, I told my older sister, who must have been about 5 years old, and had never attended the playschool but had only ever seen it when she came with my mother to come pick me and my borther up, that the big beanbag seats were filled actually with the bodies of dead children, who the workers had killed, and the toilets were covered in blood and sick and that the workers lured kids into them and tortured and killed them, and that kdis were constantly disappearing. Also I told her that when playing in the sandbox me and my brother had discovered the bodies of children from the playschool buried under the sand, and she believed it ALL.

I was convinced that there were only 11 grades of school, and grade 12 was college. My mother didn't correct me until I was in the 6th grade, LOL!

When I was little i went to a public school. It was in the middle of a neighbor hood. Even after i found out i went to a public school I thought a public school was in the middle of the countryside with big evergreens and a big black fence surronding it.

When I was finished nursery school, we had a graduation ceremony with caps and gowns, and certificates, the whole works. My brother graduated high-school the same day. I overheard him telling my mam that since he graduated he would never go to school again, not even collage. I assumed I wouldn't have to either, so the next year I told my new teacher I was not coming to learn 'cos I graduated, but I'd be glad to help teach.

When I was about 3 or 4 I thought that your age was your grade in school. On my brothers birthday I thought I'd show off how smart I was and tell them what grade they were in. (I'm the youngest in my family) All my brother and sisters friends were there and they all laughed at me like I was an idiot. I was so embarrassed.

When I was 5 I used to believe that the planet 'Pluto' was actually the disney character who had been banished from the planet because he had been really naughty, and sent into orbit. I believed that until I was about 8, when I had a Science lesson on the Solar System, when I then learnt that it was a planet of it's own. I felt really stupid when my teacher told the class that it was the furthest planet, and not a disney character. I wasn't the only one who felt foolish., though. Plenty of people mady 'daft' mistakes that lesson.

I used to believe that the only reason children went to school was to give their parents free time. I thought school was a babysitting service in disguise.
