#1 is very true. I remember I had to dig up every single small information about college application stuffs.
High school never teaches anything in preparation for college. Not even something as basic as ‘What to submit.’
They plaster entire hallways with ‘A list of good colleges’ but not a single poster that describes ‘What to do for college application’
wtf? do (did) they really teach that in the USA?
#10. If so, why is the ocean blue? There is no light source beneath it. And quantum effects of light scattering/reflecting are not even remotely close to making so much blue light. I believe you got only half your answer correct. Sky is blue because shorter wavelengths bend more than long-yes. Ocean does that for exact reason? No
#8. Where the f* is your school? Not even in 3rd world countries do schools teach Columbus discover Earth’s round. I think you are mistaking it with ‘Columbus discovered America’-then yes, most sources nowadays say it was the Vikings. Either that or you meant Magellan, then this is just ironic.
#6 no. Schools teach that those taste receptors react MORE STRONGLY to given taste in these areas. Now you are simplifying. Ironic^2
#5 not even gonna explain the subject here in the comment. Too much oversimplifying on your side both regarding to what and why schools teach that way, and what the truth is really
#2. Yes, your statement is true, but there is a reason why schools prevent students from referencing Wikipedia articles in their paper. One of which is because when students use it, they just search one phrase. That leads to overall not diving into the subject and understanding it, but just going over superficial facts. The second reason is it is just unhealthy to go to the same domain over and over. But I strongly agree- Wikipedia is a viable source but only if used correctly (which mostly it isn’t)

We were taught Pluto is a planet. It was such a big deal that even Jerry got involved at complained to NASA.
You guys realize you didn’t actually show the tongue chart right?
My teachers never taught me any of these myths. My teachers had brains and common sense. I will defend cursive as when I was learning it in 3rd grade when we were taught it, not everyone had personal computers. My schools required us to write our assignments in cursive through 7th grade to avoid dependence on computers. Cursive is still important as printing your name is not a legal signature.
#5 should have been #1
“english is a difficult language to learn”… well… no
“English is hard to learn”
I learned english easier than my language
