We attend school to gain knowledge about history, mathematics, art, and science. But not everything they teach us in school is based on facts. Watch this video and learn some of the fictional things you were taught in school. We attend school to gain knowledge about history, mathematics, art, and science. But not everything they teach us in school is based on facts. Heres the truth about a few of the outrageous lies you were taught in school. Most students are taught that humans only use 10% of their brain, but this couldnt be any further from the truth. According to neurologists, humans use virtually every part of their brain, and most of the brain is active almost all the time. So where exactly did the myth that we only use a tiny portion of our brains come from? Many people believe it all started with a misquote from Albert Einstein. Many people still believe diamonds are made from coal, but Im sorry to break it to you, this just isnt true at all. Diamonds are made out of highly organized carbon. Maybe teachers thought the story of turning coals into diamonds would impress students more than telling them the actual truth. But we now know, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Your art teacher probably taught you that red, yellow, and blue are primary colors, but they lied for no good reason. The true primary colors are cyan, yellow, and magenta. So why did teachers give us the wrong information all our lives? Maybe they thought young kids couldnt pronounce fancy words such as cyan and magenta, so they replaced them with blue and red instead. While in school, teachers taught us if we ever got lost, just look up in the sky to locate the North Star. It shouldnt be hard to miss it since its the brightest star in the sky, right? WRONG! The North Star is actually the 50th brightest star in our solar system. What other lies have you been taught in school?

Hypocrisy bit much? You talk about lies we were taught in school yet you put one forth as if it were fact. For instance: the one about the pilgrims. Plymouth Rock landing is fact. It was an accident since a storm blew their wine ship (yes the mayflower was a wine ship) off course. The Pilgrims went ashore and managed to survive a harsh winter with a lot of their own not surviving. When that winter was over, they met a Native American named Squanto. He was the only survivor of a small pox outbreak that wiped out the rest of his former tribe. The disease came from other white people who had contact with his tribe. So the pilgrims didn't bring disease. Others who came before them did. And the Thanksgiving tradition started in spring after the natives and pilgrims had formed a friendship. The natives saved their lives. The two cultures formed an alliance that lasted for more than 100 years

Okay, I gotta say. some of these aren't lies as much as they are just outdated information. We've made huge leaps in the study of how our eyes work in the past two decades (thus explaining the whole primary color and blue vein lies here) but it's not like anyone's rushing to update text books for the younger generation. Hell, I had books from the 1960s back in the early 2000s.

The primary colors thing isn't fully true. In traditional art (such as painting) the colors work much better when mixing red, yellow, and blue. But in digital art and in printers, cyan, yellow, and magenta work better. You get the same(or similar) results if you mix, say, yellow and blue paint and them mix cyan and yellow in a digital art program.

they didn't teach us the wrong primary colours! art colours ARE red yellow and blue, but when it comes to light they are magenta yellow and cyan

My fourth grade teacher teaches the class cursive. I walked into the classroom in the middle of a cursive lesson I was not made aware of.

How is Polaris the 50th brightest star in our SOLAR SYSTEM if the sun is the only star? I think you meant 50th brightest visible star.

For the first ten or so years of my life, I thought it was 'I before E, except after Z' or 'E before I, except after Y'. :facepalm:

3: 51 it's actually the 50th brightest star in our solar system. does she know that there is one star in our solar system
reply

Almost EVERYONE believes the colour is yellow red and blue just cuz kids couldn't say the words Cyan Mygenta and Yellow?
reply
