I would say "cursive is how adults write, you'll need to know it", but that wasn't true then either.

Fair, but this is/was still commonly taught in schools. That's what the original question was.
"This is the best time of your life, it will never be as easy."
I wasted more time at school than at work and I didn't have Fridays off, so that was a lie.
We don't know what the appendix does, the whole pluto thing, I think the Oxford comma is going out of style, and cursive in general.
But I love cursive, mine was "very nice" according to my teachers.
Eh, Pluto isn't really something proven false, just that we found more objects like Pluto that made more sense in their own category. It's classification, like there weren't always separate categories for feature films and short films, there wasn't a separate category for dwarf planets when it was just Pluto.
Oxford comma is useful. I think what's getting popular is just complete disregard for spelling and grammar.
I've been working on my hand writing, and these kids can't read cursive. I worked real hard and my young coworkers were like bart.Bart. I developed my own short hand during college. My notes might as well be encrypted. I can't be old! I'm still with it!
My handwriting turned around after I got a fountain pen. I went from doctor to pre-med handwriting. Having to think more about how to form the letters has me taking my time. No need to rush when I'm writing with a fancy pen full of cool ink.
Thank you for your continued support of the Oxford comma.
Oh I didnt think of the Pluto thing! Thats a good one
The appendix is a vestigial organ that doesn't actually do anything in humans. (It might still fit the definition of vestigial, but it's far from useless and we keep learning more about how valuable gut health is.)
My appendix came damn close to killing me. I vote βnot valuableβ. :)
My favourite one was that the earth is 6000 years old
I am a Christian and I don't believe that. I could go on at length about how the Bible doesn't support that idea.
Where did you go to school? Everybody knows its 2025 years old.
The question was about things taught at school.
It's called a Christian school, i wouldn't recommend it

Not only in School, even at university I was taught the DNA structure was solved by Watson und Crick. But they stole data from Rosalind franklin and even openly admitted it years later.
Along with Franklin, I believe a grad student, Raymond Gosling. I feel I'm forgetting about another big contributor, but who knows.
