Martin Boylan It's a place for everyone to put hard work in. Even smart people need to be in school (at least the majority). Colleges and jobs look for hard working people.
School is the place where they train you to be good little worker bees and classify us all into castes. Look up John Taylor Gatto & SchoolSucksPodcast.
No, he was a subpar student to most of his peers and only became smart when he was inspired and in-love. That gave him an incentive to work hard and strive for big things.
As a former math teacher. You do need to know some things without a calculator because it will take you forever to complete a math assignment if you dont know your times tables!
Robert Burgess Pluto is a planet, its a Dwarf Planet, but it will never be a planet planet, because it's not big enough, its smaller than Earth, and its a spec compared to Jupiter and Saturn, so dream all you want, its never going to happen.
@@samvander3310 believe it or not but it is. Yes anyone can post. But that post goes through multiple layers of fact checking. So it has a really good chance at being accurate.
I’m 60 was in middle and high school during the late 60’s to mid 70’s and was told the cursive thing. Got to college an teachers said print or type class work. Good thing as my cursive writing looks remarkably like connected printing anyway. And as far as calculators, they were something I had to learn to use in college and took physics.
It was until 1973, when Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard. That’s why we have been experiencing rampant inflation ever since. It’s just paper, worth a few cents.
#20 - its not about not being able to taste things on different parts of the tongue, its that certain things seem to have a stronger (or more desirable) effect on different areas of the tongue. The problem is, this effect (and the location) varies from person to person.
Dave I always hated Pluto, thank god nasa reclassified. That dog got it coming for being annoying and obeying a mouse, but worse of all I saw him eating someone, idk how but Pluto can remove his head and then trap someone inside him. The horror oooh the horror.
As I could read, and write my name when I was three and a half, by the time I got to school, aged five [in 1968], I was writing in cursive, and reading books that were for children of ten. I could also do basic maths. The teachers really didn't know what to do. The only useful things I picked up from school were wood and metal working skills, and science knowledge. I have never had to use anything I was taught in real-world situations, except occasionally in pub quizzes. The most dispiriting thing was going to job interviews with a big envelope full of examination pass certificates, only to be told that 'We're not interested in them, only if you have any experience...' One interviewer even suggested that I could have forged them, for all he knew. I threw them all away. I actually learnt more by being an autodidact. Most of my teachers, on reflection, were just 'phoning it in'. I think you can see that I wasn't fond of school.
Anmol Betala no it wasn't Pluto still hasn't obey all the 3 criteria to become a planet. 1)orbits a star 2)it mush have enough gravity/mass to maintain a hydrostatic equilibrium state (sphere shape). 3)it must clear out the neighbourhood around its orbit. Pluto met 2 of this conditions but Pluto hasn't clear out all the other trash , dust , asteroid etc. All of those space junk weighs much heavier than pluto. If Pluto were reclassified as a major planet. There are many other dwarf planets just like Pluto that needs to be reclassified, so it's just easier to make Pluto as a dwarf planet with the rest of them.
@@formerunsecretarygeneralba9536 Wrong! The clearing of it's orbit had more to do with it. But come to reality and Neptune never cleared Pluto from it's orbit! Then, both Jupiter and Saturn never cleared up their it it's either, partly due to the huge Trojan asteroids, numbering over 100,000! Next, the Earth never cleared it's orbit of ten thousand rubble piles or asteroids. So, Housten, we got a problem.
@@summerbrooks9922 I think misunderstood here when I said clearing out the space junk I meant that the amount of the space junk on the planet's orbir must be less than the size of the actual planet. Obviously every planet has a lot of junk in their orbit but the space junk in jupiter's orbit is nothing when compared to jupiter's size.

Just to make something clear about calculators. I always thought math was a bunch of crap, especially the "you wont have a calculator" line. But you do need to know the formulas! and you wont memorize them using a calculator! Even as a salesman I have had to relearn and re-memorize what I considered basic formulas, your calculator is only as good as the information you give it!
You not only need to know the formulas but how to solve them. Calculators make mistakes and people make mistakes when entering data. Also, maybe it’s because I’m older but sometimes it’s just easier to figure out the solution in my head than wasting my time pushing numbers on a machine (even if it’s the phone in my back pocket) 🤷🏼♀️

Hey Mike, you _won't_ have a calculator with you all the time! There's of course the possibility of a systemic collapse, there's also regional issues. Here in Oregon, we're prepping for a quake- a BIG ONE- that is way overdue. It's not an if, but a when. And when it hits. Portland will be without electricity for weeks, if not months. (We're also not going to have a functioning water system for possibly years.) Knowing how to write clearly, and how to do math without batteries, are very important skills to have. How to start a fire and how to cook over said fire are also important. I actually have similar arguments about books- my books feel good in my hands, they smell good, and I can underline or highlight or dogear the pages- AND they never run out of batteries. If our electrical grid goes down, my roommate's Kindle won't be useful for very long...
Aren't the 5 senses basically groups for all the other senses? Like, pain would go into the group of touch/feeling. So it's not that the 5 senses are wrong, its just they are only groups for all the different types of senses.

I can remember when we had "The Four Food Groups." Then someone thought that wasn't good enough, and threw a pyramid into the mix. Now we're back to the number 4.
if there was no sun though, everything would be too cold to sustain life. our planet would be colder than pluto currently is, so it kind've does power all life on earth
dude without the sun it'd be at least hundreds of degrees below zero, the earth would be frozen to the core. its light can't reach that deep, but its heat sure as hell can
That's where you're wrong. The Earth's core produces heat by the radioactive decay of elements like uranium and thorium, and that heat rises to the surface to form the undersea vents that were mentioned in the video. This is all independent of the Sun and would continue to happen unimpededly if the Sun disappeared. If you go back to the formation of the solar system, I believe Earth was formed from some of the remaining material orbiting the new Sun that didn't actually go on to form the Sun itself. So the nuclear energy stored within the Earth didn't even originate in the Sun. Admittedly, though, it must have come from an older star.
nicholas skoal you do know the earth has it own independently functioning core right, also due to geo thermal vents and the lower freezing points at bottom of ocean due to pressure if the sun was to disappear the bottom of the ocean would not freeze and there are organisms that would survive at the bottom of ocean, so not all life lives off the sun

at my old school when I was younger we had to learn cursive at the end of 2nd grade and then once we learned it we only could write in that nothing else thought the rest of second, third, fourth, and fifth grade and we couldn't write in print unless we were told to by the teacher
Leon Hochwald I've been out of school for 20 years, many of these were taught in elementary school but were known to be wrong by the time I hit high school. Other than Pluto, as it was still then considered a planet.
24. "There are only 5 Senses", Those other ones CAN be considered subsets of the 5 primary, regardless the basic 5 are a easy and quick reference or starting point. 22. "Doing well in school will lead to doing well in life", True having connections could land you a sweet gig, but if you aren't qualified you aren't going to get that gig, so school still matters. 21. "You probably won't even use a pencil", I use pens and pencils on a daily basis, but you're right I don't use cursive. 17. "Columbus discovered the Earth was round", I was never taught in school that he was the first to discover that. "The Native Americans were the good guys", Yes, Europeans and early Americans did some horrible thing, but the Native Americans weren't just sitting around smoking peace pipes (no idea if peace pipes are an actual thing), they have just as bloody a history as everyone else, Europeans just had better tech and organization. 16. "Pluto is a planet", at the time I was in school Pluto was classified as a planet, now they have change it's CLASSIFICATION, that is different then discovering an error. 13. "Adults know what they are talking about", I knew that some do and some don't when I was in elementary school, no one ever taught me that all adults are smart. 7. "Your countries heroes are the good guys", sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends, it isn't as cut and dry as you're making out.
@waterandafter birds arent species like how Volvos arent engines. there are species among birds like they are engines in Volvos. classes arent necessarily birds just like cars aren't necessarily Volvo. A class can contain bees, bats, squirrels other than birds but in taxonomy, they aren't considered a class.

Night Light it's because pluto's orbit has a lot of dust, asteroids, trash and it is much much much more heavier than Pluto. This was the reason Pluto was reclassified. If not they are other dwarf planets, just like Pluto that needed to be reclassified as a real planet so astronomers just decide to reclassified Pluto.
A friend of mine explained that learning math is still good to know, because calculators sometimes break in ways that give wrong answers, or you might hit a button wrong. You still need to be able to tell when the answer is wrong, and learning math helps that. That said, I never learned math properly (I have a block on that area) and I just do the maths a few times to be sure. Or if I'm online, I use Wolfram Alpha.

Pluto should be a planet because it used to be considered a planet. It's like letting someone into a group and then changing the entry parameters and kicking them out. You let them in when the parameters were different, so they should be grandfathered in.
To this day, I remember these 2 from grade school: 1) In social studies, we were told that Eskimos have many different words for snow, leaving students with the impression they're too stupid to know it's all the same! 20+ years later, I learned that because moist, dry, packed, loose, etc types of snow are essential knowledge for crossing glaciers, etc, the Native culture really had a VERY GOOD REASON for a specific name for each type of snow! I chalk this up to ignorance on the teacher's part: this was in the early 1970's, & she didn't even know that "Eskimo" was never a tribal name! 2) From the same time period: one teacher with questionable reasoning ability taught us that the "proper" way to carry a sharp knife was with the blade TOWARD YOU!! As opposed to toward other people. Took me less than 12 hours feeling so uncomfortable helping Mother in the kitchen that I started carrying it POINT DOWN! Who the hell teaches kids to carry sharp knives with the blade pointed toward THEM--?!
I'm tired of hearing how little teachers make. The average salary is $45,000-$65,000. That ain't chicken feed. Most everything I learned in school I now have to forget. Go internet!

The body doesn't really measure the temperature. The skin can sense the heat flux (which is NOT temperature). You wouldn't be able tell which is colder, a wood at 16C or a metal rod at 22C. If we're talking about body core temp, then still is regulated by changes or effects of temp on the body rather than direct temp measurements.
On the idea of brain cell growth I thought I would chime in with many years ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury. Spent a while in a coma then more time in a catatonic state. My doctors went on to tell me that it was this period where many of the functions were rewired. This was a time of new cells growing to replace the amount lost on impact that caused my injury. I of course didn’t realize any difference in how I acted but nearly all my family and friends say I became so much of some parts of my personality and so much less of others
I always thought "children shouldn't drink coffee because it 'stunts' their growth." was a strange rule, and included the word "stunt" which is rarely used as a verb elsewhere.
Very likely someone has already pointed this out (possibly even me), but birds are not a single species. They are what is called a class, containing over 11,000 living species.

"you can't start a sentence with because" Most teachers know this is wrong, they just say it because little kids can't form the valid sentences that start with because.

I met a college professor who was an English professor and kept acting like he knew things about film development which is my major I laughed when I left to room.
you recorded this video in April 2015? must have a crazy backlog
Stomedy's No, they did not record it back in April 2015, they are using data FROM April 2015
What about the Coelacanth? Lie 26 “You need to understand equations” - no I don’t. I have never used an equation containing letters rather than real numbers in my adult life, not once, not ever.
Of course the bad guys won.....

at my old school when I was younger we had to learn cursive at the end of 2nd grade and then once we learned it we only could write in that nothing else thought the rest of second, third, fourth, and fifth grade and we couldn't write in print unless we were told to by the teacher
i was told Most of this things right but i am still in school

I've been out of school for 20 years, many of these were taught in elementary school but were known to be wrong by the time I hit high school. Other than Pluto, as it was still then considered a planet.
waterandafter it's not a planet... it has become a dwarf planet which is a rock that almost has no gravity
24. "There are only 5 Senses", Those other ones CAN be considered subsets of the 5 primary, regardless the basic 5 are a easy and quick reference or starting point.
22. "Doing well in school will lead to doing well in life", True having connections could land you a sweet gig, but if you aren't qualified you aren't going to get that gig, so school still matters.
21. "You probably won't even use a pencil", I use pens and pencils on a daily basis, but you're right I don't use cursive.
17. "Columbus discovered the Earth was round", I was never taught in school that he was the first to discover that. "The Native Americans were the good guys", Yes, Europeans and early Americans did some horrible thing, but the Native Americans weren't just sitting around smoking peace pipes (no idea if peace pipes are an actual thing), they have just as bloody a history as everyone else, Europeans just had better tech and organization.
16. "Pluto is a planet", at the time I was in school Pluto was classified as a planet, now they have change it's CLASSIFICATION, that is different then discovering an error.
13. "Adults know what they are talking about", I knew that some do and some don't when I was in elementary school, no one ever taught me that all adults are smart.
7. "Your countries heroes are the good guys", sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends, it isn't as cut and dry as you're making out.
Birds aren't species though. They are a class called aves.
Matthys Fourie
and this class includes things other than birds? Bees, bats, squirrels?
Dinosaurs aren't a species either. They're a clade.
@waterandafter birds arent species like how Volvos arent engines. there are species among birds like they are engines in Volvos. classes arent necessarily birds just like cars aren't necessarily Volvo. A class can contain bees, bats, squirrels other than birds but in taxonomy, they aren't considered a class. A "class" is only used specifically for Aves or Mammalia, etc. you wouldn't call a V8 Engine a car would you?
In programming terms, bird is an object while "class" is class
Gram T
Cool thx
+waterandafter no problemo
Everything.
24: We technically don't need dairy at all, but wow it's good.
23: I'm so glad the brantosauras existed, I never knew people thought it didn't.
And I think most dinosaurs had feathers?
25: HUH, nope.
21: Only use it once after the 3rd grade, it was for SAT's.
16: I thought it became a planet again?
15: Never heard someone say that?
3: WHAT, I didn't know that!
1: Oh hey that's what I said too
Pluto is a planet!!!
Why is it a planet?
Tohfa Walker it is a dwarf planet that revolves around the sun. it is debunk as a planet since its orbit have another "planet" revolving the sun.
Night Light it's because pluto's orbit has a lot of dust, asteroids, trash and it is much much much more heavier than Pluto. This was the reason Pluto was reclassified. If not they are other dwarf planets, just like Pluto that needed to be reclassified as a real planet so astronomers just decide to reclassified Pluto.
"adults dont know what there talking about" "Anakin is my favorite star wars character" BEST. EXAMPLE. EVER.
Hi reply List 25, I'm S.P.E.C.I.A.L

A friend of mine explained that learning math is still good to know, because calculators sometimes break in ways that give wrong answers, or you might hit a button wrong. You still need to be able to tell when the answer is wrong, and learning math helps that. That said, I never learned math properly (I have a block on that area) and I just do the maths a few times to be sure. Or if I'm online, I use Wolfram Alpha.
I wonder of list25 will respond to this cliche of a comment?

School is great, but it's also a place that gives you a piece of paper that determines who you are. "To be determined by a piece of paper."

no
Jack Wall YAAAASSSS!!!!!
its so cliche, but i mean at least its inclusive!
Thank you for citations!!
Oh yeah, and the lists are awesome too. ;)
Hi can u comment
Why yes, yes we can. ~Mike
When I was a kid, living in an old house, we had old windows who's glass was noticeably thicker at the bottom.
What an awesome video to share with us in such a short time!!! I always find the brightest, most incredible and totally fantastic screens that makes the best gemstones. You gotta love it!!! ❣️❣️🤓
My english teacher made us write an essay explaining why we like something but we weren't allowed to use "because" and she would get really upset when we used it on paperwork so i'm always uncomfortable using it. I was taught to replace it with a comma when possible.
3:13 Because Mike is such an excellent narrator, I love List 25.
thank you so much for addressing the Christopher Columbus horror :)
I love that the title is 'misinformed' rather than 'lied', the teachers haven't *lied* to you, they were teaching you what they were taught
18: You need to learn basic math without a calculator, because knowing 12*12=144 by heart is much quicker than type it in a calculator each and every time. Besides, doing math in your brain is big fun. 😊😊😊😊
Indian cultures were some of the most sadistic in the history of civilization. The bad guys won? Learn your history.
Not only can woman produce new eggs, we can bleed for a week without dying! bahahaaaha
That doing well in school would lead to doing well in lifeIt's not your fathers friends, it's your ability to effectively apply what you have learned.
I saw a documentary on discovery channel a couple of years ago. They talk about this 6:34 and then they showed a tyrannosaurus rex with multicolored feathers on the body. The tyrannosaurus walked towards a cliff, stopped at the edge and roared a mighty B'GAAAAAAAAWWK. I laughed my ass off hahahahahaha
+List25 thanks for this one. I love the videos about stuff we've learned in school and throughout our lives that is false, and finding out the reasons those fallacies are taught to people
Over use of NSAIDS (like Advil, Aspirin, or Naproxen) causes damage to the stomach lining and can also cause ulcers.
Outside of forms, I always write in cursive.
The tongue taste area is debunked, but the areas do sense tastes more strongly in those areas. If you move a Skittle over to the traditional spot halfway back and to the edge, it tastes better. I'm boring, I know... ;)
Pluto should be a planet because it used to be considered a planet. It's like letting someone into a group and then changing the entry parameters and kicking them out. You let them in when the parameters were different, so they should be grandfathered in.
You're the best Mike!
To this day, I remember these 2 from grade school:
1) In social studies, we were told that Eskimos have many different words for snow, leaving students with the impression they're too stupid to know it's all the same! 20+ years later, I learned that because moist, dry, packed, loose, etc types of snow are essential knowledge for crossing glaciers, etc, the Native culture really had a VERY GOOD REASON for a specific name for each type of snow! I chalk this up to ignorance on the teacher's part: this was in the early 1970's, & she didn't even know that "Eskimo" was never a tribal name!
2) From the same time period: one teacher with questionable reasoning ability taught us that the "proper" way to carry a sharp knife was with the blade TOWARD YOU!! As opposed to toward other people. Took me less than 12 hours feeling so uncomfortable helping Mother in the kitchen that I started carrying it POINT DOWN!
Who the hell teaches kids to carry sharp knives with the blade pointed toward THEM--?!
When I was in high school a few years ago the teacher has actually said that if they see any of us using Wikipedia who would automatically get a 0.
I'm tired of hearing how little teachers make. The average salary is $45,000-$65,000. That ain't chicken feed. Most everything I learned in school I now have to forget. Go internet!
A native of America; originally applied to the aboriginals, or copper-colored races, found here by the Europeans; but now applied to the descendants of Europeans born in America.

Love the video! Also I just it 2000 subscribers :DD
The body doesn't really measure the temperature. The skin can sense the heat flux (which is NOT temperature). You wouldn't be able tell which is colder, a wood at 16C or a metal rod at 22C.
If we're talking about body core temp, then still is regulated by changes or effects of temp on the body rather than direct temp measurements.
Wow... I am glad that the internet has cleared up all those wrong things that I was taught about in school.
Pluto will always be a planet to me.
When the hell did the Brontosaurus STOP being a dinosaur???
Honey Bee86 my thoughts exactly
Thank you for number 17! Kids need to learn that Columbus did not discover America, he was just the first to go back to Europe and blab about it.
On the idea of brain cell growth I thought I would chime in with many years ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury. Spent a while in a coma then more time in a catatonic state. My doctors went on to tell me that it was this period where many of the functions were rewired. This was a time of new cells growing to replace the amount lost on impact that caused my injury.
I of course didn’t realize any difference in how I acted but nearly all my family and friends say I became so much of some parts of my personality and so much less of others
I always thought "children shouldn't drink coffee because it 'stunts' their growth." was a strange rule, and included the word "stunt" which is rarely used as a verb elsewhere.
Some schools don't teach cursive anymore. Heard from a school teacher. It was taught so you can read old documents
If you go to Art School you will still have to write by hand, likewise with many other art disciplines and many science disciplines too.
Very likely someone has already pointed this out (possibly even me), but birds are not a single species. They are what is called a class, containing over 11,000 living species.
i always put pain and temperature down as a sense of touch, but yeah balance and equilibrium, i guess i never really thought of that
Goes to school the next day. Walks into class and teacher say "ok class and here is 25 things list 25 misinformed you about"
This one is for Tristan since he said Anakin Skywalker is his favorite Star Wars character. My son actually named his baby Anakin because that is also his favorite Star Wars character.
"you can't start a sentence with because"
Most teachers know this is wrong, they just say it because little kids can't form the valid sentences that start with because.
