My private high school and my wife's private high school both had lockers (before we met, in two different cities).

Where did you keep your stuff at your private high school? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Everything I needed was at my desk - I was at one of those "fancy" schools where you were all in the same room and got your own desk (classes were all in self-paced books).

Anyone else ever have such dreams?

Seriously, I do.

I have dreams where I was on a test and learned that I haven't studied at all for the test.

Sounds like homeschooling (without the weird "thing" for your teacher/mom).

When I was in school every summer I'd get at least one dream about it being in September and first day in school, and I'd forget my locker combination or something and it would just be pure chaos. I would not know anybody, I'd go in the wrong classroom, or be late etc... then I wake up and realize how school is really close, but be happy it was just a dream as I would normally had made a big dork of myself in those dreams by being so unorganized.

I still get school related dreams sometimes. Then i wake up and it's like "Thank God that was just a dream, and it's over!"

Well, you're right (to an extent) - the curriculum was originally designed for homeschoolers. However, there are a number of schools that use it as well. :)

I haven't had that one yet and probably never will since my dreams never make sense.

I've had those dreams but the last time was quite some time ago.

I graduated a year and a half ago.
