School of FAIL: People Share the Things They Learned at School That Were Completely False

It's wild what some teachers teach…This thread was posted to Reddit's infamous r/AskReddit subreddit, and let's just say that people learned some crazy things back in school. From wildly inaccurate history lessons to failed attempts at intimidating students through fear politics, it's pretty remarkable what some schools do to try to brainwash their students into blindly accepting false truths. Perhaps these moments might have seemed mindless at the time, but clearly, these Redditors held onto these bad lessons for a long period and were eager to share these ridiculous anecdotes online. Some of our favorite highlights include learning that "Dr." in a street address stood for doctor, being challenged by a teacher about the spelling of your own name, and that your grades will stay on some sort of lifelong permanent record. As if someone will care when you're 40 years old that you got a B in your 8th grade gym class. Keep scrolling below to have a look for yourself!
