Wait. I just realized that doing so would give away the answer to the one I have up already. Lemme be the last guy with two right answers, I want to see some guesses for the one I already put up.

Wrong. I really did fail kindergarten. Proud of it, too.

Do you get grades in kindergarten?
Over here it is just a place for children to be and to do some tinkering, but nothing where one got grades or could "fail".

We can thank Bush's "No Child Left Behind" for that. Around here, you can fail home school.

Reason I'm considered "failed" is because I only went for 3/4 of a year, and got switched to a new school, but they bumped me up mid-year to 1st grade, and so I never finished kindergarten. We never received the papers in the mail congratulating me for finishing a year of kindergarten, and the rules in any grade are, if you're in the class for over half of the year but don't finish, it's a fail.

Correct. My first word was "Exit," and it was a sign hanging above a door in a fish n' chips restaurant in San Marcos, California.

and Malte, fact #1 (me knowing how to read at age 4) was actually why I failed kindergarten. I found it extremely insulting to be held in for recess just because I didn't come up with a drawing for every letter of the alphabet, when I was already reading hardback novels. I chronically refused to do my 'work' which was why the school got rid of me.

Rat_Lady7, you're up!

Let's see, guess which one is TRUE:

1. I am allergic to cats
2. I don't like seafood
3. I find Egyptian mythology boring

#3 sounds false to me. I think #1 is true.

I suppose number 2 might be true.
This is correct. Your turn!

Which of the following is not true?

- Religion is the only subject I never had any but the highest mark on my school diplomas from the first to the last grade.
- I planned to become a Historian since my kindergarten days.
- The only bone I ever broke is thought to be pretty much the least likely bone to ever break in the human body.

Firts guess is one alternative no. 1.

There's something about no.3 that I can't remember if I remember.  :lol:

Correct ;)
I wasn't planning on jobs in my kindergarten days. Though I was interested in history (or in Cowboys, Indians, Knights, Pirates, Romans etc. more to the point) I had also a lot of other interests and may not have known what the word historian meant. I did make such career plans in primary school though and envied my two and a half years elder sister when she reached the grade which included history classes for the first time.

Okay...I'll probably bend the rules a bit on this game, it seems some people want to play this game differently.

Edited. :p
