Mine had loads of cartoons of a kid in a backwards cap and sunglasses with a sly grin doing his revision and reading a copy of the same book he was featured in. He would repeatedly remind the reader that studying was COOL!

The history books painted Christopher Columbus as a heroic cool guy instead of a complete rear end in a top hat who had to coat himself with the blood of the natives to get off.

one of our social studies books in elementary school had an appendix in the back depicting the seven wonders for the ancient world, and the colossus of rhodes' dick was out. I liked to flip over and look at it when no one was watching I later learned the colossus of rhodes was destroyed thousands of years ago and we don't know what it looked like, so somebody just decided to draw it with a dick. also, we didn't learn about the seven wonders

I liked to flip over and look at it when no one was watching If the ancients built it, we can be pretty confident it had its dick and/or breasts out. This was long before the intention of pants or Jesus.

For a hilarious prank, the ancients would pour water out of the tip onto boats passing under so it would look like the statue was peeing on them. Many people died. This wasn't in any textbook, but it ought to be.

Catholics are closest to God, followed by Protestants, other Christians, Jews, and then people who aren't religious but still live by their conscience. Also jacking off is a mortal sin and birth control can kill you and condoms might not work.

I had a textbook in high school that stated we would have earthquake, burglary, fire, germ, tornado, whatever -proof houses by the year 2000. This was in 2003. Same book had under the definition of labor a picture of a happy white woman sitting in a chair and talking on a telephone. This rightfully made my predominantly working class Hispanic immigrant classmates pretty loving irate.

My mom had some old textbooks from the 1930s. They were for high school kids. Algebra hasn't changed. The history and literature ones were more accurate, honest and rigorous than anything I got in Uni. Sure, they were only good for up til 1920 or so, but they were also prescient, claiming men would be on the Moon before the end of the century, war was inevitable and so on. In contrast, my 9th grade history textbook helpfully explained that jousting was a 'pretend battle'. It also said man would soon be on the Moon. This was in 1975.

New textbooks talk about how there are 40 genders and how math is racist, probably. I don't know, I can't read. I narrated this post to a trained monkey.

Im Ready for DEATH posted:New textbooks talk about how there are 40 genders and how math is racist, probably. I don't know, I can't read. I narrated this post to a trained monkey. Here in California there was a movement to teach children math based on their ethnicity. So black kids would get 'African Math', Hispanic kids would get Mayan math(never mind that the kids come from different cultural backgrounds, not just Yucatan), and so on. Asian kids would get White math. Yes, let's teach kids systems that have no modern relevance, that do not line up with modern practices, and effectively force them from jobs or education that requires math in any way, shape or form. It didn't pass, thank God.

Our jv baseball coach taught biology. The man wore khaki shorts, a t-shirt and a fleece vest everyday. Flat top haircut as well. The class involved coloring in printouts of the anatomy of various animals. I have fond memories of the dragon fly. My highschool was terrible.

I argued with my English teacher over Robert Frost's _Mending Wall_. She claimed the subtext of the poem indicated that the author went out and tore down the wall himself during the offseason, which was *clearly* ludicrous as walking the wall to lift those rocks back into place seemed like a shitton of work but nooooo that bitch would not relent and marked me down because of it. This actually happened and I am still angry.

pretty much every textbook I got in school had big black dicks drawn on every page. Sometimes it would become apparent at the end of the year that somebody drew big black cocks in permanent marker on every page

Abnormal Psychology: 11th Ed posted:"Case reports exist of behavioral treatment designed to alter sex-role behaviors. These treatments have included helping men to shape specific behaviors, such as mannerisms and interpersonal behavior, to be more masculine (Barlow, Reynolds, & Agras). In three cases, these treatments were successful in helping patients change sex-role behavior, and changes were sustained (Barlow, Reynolds, & Blanchard) This work demonstrates that some sex-role behaviors may be amenable to change. lol what a crock of poo poo, obviously the only solution is to  as early and as often as possible.
