Most, if not all of us, went to some form of school or another at some point in our lives. Whether you went to public or private (public or state), were home schooled, or were on the mean streets in the school or hard knocks, your teacher probably told you one of these many lies. Not because they were bad people (although they probably were, liars are bad people. Look it up.) but because it's become so ingrained in our school systems that it's hard to get rid of! Here are a few:

LIE: The nation of The United States of America was founded in 1783 by mostly British settlers who separated from the UK after fighting a war of independence.

FACT: The "United States of America" is actually the worlds largest AARG created in a joint effort between Steve Jobs and Elon Musk to get us to buy add ons in the form of amusing but ultimately useless gadget as part of the game's freemium business model.

LIE: Australia is the world's smallest continent.

FACT: Australia is the world's largest and longest running prison experiment.

LIE: America never had a king.

FACT: While George Washington refused the title of king causing the US to go for almost two centuries without one, eventually the US crowned Elvis "The King" Presley. A title he retains even in death.

LIE: Nobody knows how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.

FACT: All Egyptians know. They just refuse to tell anyone.

What lies did your teachers tell you?

The popular myth is that at the time of Christopher Columbus's voyage almost everyone believed that the earth was flat when in fact everyone knew it was a globe but kept acting like it was flat around Columbus as part of an elaborate prank.

Lie: there is a massive spider with hundreds of babies living in the (for lack of a better description) carpet blinds going out to the balcony.

Truth: don't lock us out on the fourth floor balcony again while you climb up on the counter and eat sugar directly out of the bowl while staring at us and laughing. The neighbors were amused, we were not. Proud maybe, but not amused.

Piss is actually not sterile once it has been expelled from the body. It's only sterile inside the bladder. The moment it passes through the urinary tract it is exposed to all sorts of nasty poo poo.

So your teacher was right in this case.

lie: you can do anything you want to

truth: while social mobility is a thing most places, you’re still going to be limited by your socioeconomic status. school and academic achievements are very much linked to your parents background and education, and whether or not you can land higher positions will come down to your family’s and your personal network. it is certainly doable without that, but those rich kids have a pretty big headstart in life, and it’ll come down to pure luck and chance, and you’ll have to work at least twice as hard
