The fibs your teacher told you in school [golden thread]

This is a golden thread. Join in with the discussion before 26 August 2016 to be in with the chance of winning an iPad air 2!

I remember being in reception, so only about 4 or 5, and our teacher told us that a rocket was going to the moon that day and if we worked really really quietly we'd be able to hear it take-off..

It totally worked. We were silent for the whole day, but never did hear that rocket go off.



What are the fibs your teachers told you at school to get you to be quiet, or stop asking silly questions?


Other golden threads:

1. List the fibs your teacher told you at school

2. What's your ultimate summer tune?

3. Which GCSE subject can you not wait to ditch?

4. Sum up how you’re feeling about results day in a meme or gif

5. How do you plan to celebrate your exam results?

6. Starting uni: what are you most excited about?

7. One essential piece of advice you'd give to someone starting their A-levels

8. What's the one thing will get you through results day?


The competition runs from 3 August to 23:59 on 26 August 2016. The random draw will be made on 30 August 2016.

That the electron arrangement is like 2,8,8 etc. Fine I may have been exaggerating when I said lie tbh
Definitely the A-level Chemistry shock! Who knew what orbitals were before that!!

Everyone used to take out their water bottles in the science labs when we weren't supposed to. Our teacher told us that one time someone accidentally drank hydrochloric acid because they thought it was water. :confused:
