teachers

I used to think that the girls' toilets at my primary school were haunted, so I set up my own Ghostbusters' club with my friends.

We also used to think that this teacher (who was, to be fair, a complete bitch) was really an alien with green skin underneath her human disguise. (I think I got that from watching Roald Dahl's "The witches")

Funny though, we never caught any ghosts, only a haunting stench.

One time we had rice crispy treats and my teacher told us if we put the rice crispy treat on the napkin we would have to eat it (She did that so we wouldnt have the rice crispy treat on the napkin because then she thought we would make others do it) So then i put my rice crispy treat on my napkin.i was scared my teacher was going to make me eat my napkin so I started crying and crying and my mom had to pick me up early.

I remember in the 2nd grade, the other kids would go up to the teacher and ask her a question and go through a door at the back of the room, and stayed gone for a few minutes and come back. I had no idea what they were doing in there or for that matter what they were asking the teacher. Curiosity got the best of me, so, I got in line behind a kid to ask the teacher what was behind the door. At the last minute, I heard, or thought I had heard the kid ask, "May I go to the register room?" I had no idea what a "register room" was, but, being a curious 2nd grader, I asked the teacher if I could go to the "register room". Well, apparently the teacher didn't listen past "may I go..." so, she said yes. Elated, I went to the back of the room, finally I was going to get to see what was behind that door that all the kids wanted to go through. I opened the door, and all I saw was a sink, mirror, and a toilet. Well, I didn't need to use the "Rest Room", so, I just went in there, and thought, "Rest Room, that's what those kids were asking... Rest Room... May I go to the Rest Room, NOT the Register Room." Well, I felt pretty stupid, but, at least, now I knew...

I used believe that some teachers yelled so much that sometimes their tounges would turn into snakes.

I used to believe that the president graded standardized tests. I'm not sure why...

When I was in first grade, my teacher had drawings of characters based on the letters of the alphabet hanging on the wall over the windows of the classroom.
The one I remember most was Munching Mouth because one day my teacher put her hand to her ear and said that Munching Mouth just said he had an idea. At the exact same time she did this, some people had passed outside the window talking. For years afterwards, I actually thought I had heard Munching Mouth speak to her.

I used to think that school teachers are monsters, and they give you a lot of homeworks and projects. And if you don't do it, they take your guts and eat it.

A science teacher I had in 7th grade actually stated that broccoli is actually miniature trees. Even at 13 yrs old I knew he was full of it!

I had a dream that my sister got to eat in a very special canteen in our junior school, which had special food in it, thing is i didn't think it was a dream..
I kept asking my sister about it and asking her why she was so special and why she never came to 'our' canteen?
This went on for weeks until i had to get pulled aside by a teacher who showed me the room I thought was 'the special canteen'..turns out it was the cleaning cupboard!! oh dear I was embarrased!

I used to think teachers really did have eyes at the back of their heads.

in school i used to think i was helpin the teacher to learn , and i gave her the alphabet because she kept asking us questions and i even wrote out the multiplycation table for her...i thought they asked the questions because they didnt know and we had to teach them, but its very different now

When I was about 7 I thought teachers were phycic, so I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up so I could also be phycic...

my esperience is:when in my kindergarden,the teacher told us back&forth that if we did not behave ourselves,she would leave the kid singly in the classroom at night&in the evening,big wolf would come out:(
i was really hairy when heard of that,sooo i tried to be very obedient to the teacher&hoped i wouldn t be left in the room with the wolf,luckily,i never had that experience:)

Well this is kinda a 2 in 1
FIRST - When I was in 3rd grade there was this one teacher who everyone at the school said was a vampire, and some kids said that a student who stopped going to our school was eatin by her, I believed this untill the 6th grade!
SECOND - I used to also believe that the teachers lived in there class room!

I used to believe teachers where ghost or had supernatrual powers because if I turn my head for a moment they would be somewhere else instead of the first place. Like from the front of the classroom to the back in 3 seconds.

When I was in sixth grade I was deathly afraid of my science teacher. I swear I thought she was out to get all of us. I thought she had a pet cobra hiding in her purse and a pet chimera (animal hybrid of mythology) hiding in her closet that she released on students giving her a hard time. I'd hide behind other students and COULD NOT manage to smile in that class AT ALL. And once I SWORE I saw that chimera roaming the halls (it was probably just another student or a teacher). I was reading about cryptozoology and was looking for chimera sightings thinking one of them was her letting her chimera outside. She gave me nightmares all the time. It took me six months to stop fearing her and to get over my belief in her evil pets.

In elementary school, I believed that teachers knew absolutely everything. That they could answer any question ever put to them. Now I know they are normal human beings and some of them don't know much at all.

When I first entered kindergarten, in December our principal left and a new one came. I used to think every year we switched principals and it was called changing principals day. I told everyone that, when in reality, the principal just quit, and we had the same principal all those years, except in the middle of fifth grade when the principal left in the middle of the year. It's a good thing I learned the truth by then, otherwise I would've thought it was a tradition every five years.

substitute teachers....I had many strange beliefs about these odd people. The first time I heard of a substiture teacher I was about 5/6, and was told I'd be having one for a while. I thought that substitute teachers were robots, and found it amazing that my substitute teacher looked so normal. I then came to think that the substitute teacher was simply too normal to be a robot. So decided that instead it was a sort of clone of a real teacher. I believed that when people were made into teachers they had to have a clone of themselves made, so that there would always be enough substitue teachers. I somehow learnt that this wasn't true though. I then thought that they all lived together in a big house or factory type place miles and miles away..and they had to stay there all the time, just waiting around for a real teacher to phone up and say they were sick so a substitute would have to come in
