(NaturalNews) I think I was in the second grade at the time. We were in gym class, and the teacher had encouraged us to jump rope and count out 10 jumps as part of an obstacle course. It was an ambitious plan, we soon learned, as very few second graders can jump rope at all. Even worse, it turns out they can't count either, because to my great surprise, some classmates stood there counting rapidly from 1 to 10 as they attempted to jump the rope, regardless of how many revolutions of the rope were actually achieved.

This frustrated my gym teacher, and he asked us to halt our little exercise and listen up for a moment. He queried a student to determine why they were counting from 1 to 10 even though they weren't actually jumping the rope 10 times. The student had no idea what he was talking about. So he decided to do a little counting test in front of us all. "I'm going to turn in circles, and I want you to count out loud how many times I turn around."

Fair enough, right? So he proceeded to slowly rotate to his right, and after having achieved not more than 45 degrees of rotation, to my great astonishment my classmates started counting out numbers. "One! Two! Three!" He continued rotating into 90 degrees, and then 180 degrees, at which point some of my classmates were already at "four!" and "five!" By the time he reached 360 degrees (one complete rotation), some of my second-grade classmates had already counted to 10.

It was at this point that I shouted out, "One!" The teacher looked at me and said, "You're the only one who got it right" and I can only imagine he spent that evening pulling his hair out, trying to understand why second graders could be so stupid on basic concepts such as counting.

I have long since wondered the same thing myself.
