That christopher columbus is a nice guy and treated all the natives with respect.

The teachers had little idea how to teach science.

"The Earth Spins around really fast so fast that you do not even know it is spinning"
-fails to tell us any detail further than this on Earth and that The Sun does not revolve around the Earth.

- I doubt strongly they knew themselves beyond that.

For me it was:

"You won't have a calculator in your pocket"

How am I supposed to remember that

How can you forget?

I argued with a teacher once when she tried to tell me the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. "No!" I would protest: "It rotates once every 23 hours 56 minutes. Since the Earth is going around the sun, it takes an extra four minutes to line back up with the sun. But it rotates completely once in 23 hours and 56 minutes."

I had to prove her wrong in the library. From then on, whenever I called out misinformation what was in the textbooks, she'd just do the "Class, put your books away and get ready for a test."

That dumb ♥♥♥♥♥.

Thread title and description, things that dont devolve into pointless arguments

that we are all equal
potato painting impressed parents
teachers are safe people
the custard was not microwaved
it is not nice to treat inferior people like they mean nothing
pritt sticks were the best glue
you will eventually be normal - still waiting on the result of that one

in my day "you will not always have a calculator in your pocket"
-> a harmless one.. as they could not predict the future.. and being able to calculate in your head still is a valuable skill.. even with having a calculator in your pocket.. so your not DEPENDEND on it.

today schools learn far worse and far more blatend lies well where to start...
-people can be born in the wrong body
-there are more than two genders
-whites are to blame for all the worlds troubles
-migration is a good thing
-there is no such thing as a dutch culture
-climatescare.. (especially HOW they talk.. certainties for what are theories, and panic infusing gross exagerations)

if and when I get kids (I want them but being single I first will have to find a wife wanting and able to have them with me) I fear I might have too teach them at home the way education in 20 years has shifted from a place to share knowledge to a place to spread "the message"

Gender identity is a neurochemical phenomenon and does not have a set number of genders.

Migration is necessary to support aging populations.

"climatescare" aka legitimate concerns about the future of our planet.

That I would need cursive for the rest of my life, meanwhile they would just use a scribble as their signature.
