That you could survive a nuclear strike if you hid under your desk.
not so much a “lie” as just inaccurate understanding, but I went through school being told the dinosaurs all went extinct. now we see that the theropods survived and became birds. Though if you look at a vulture or most raptors, the resemblance should have been obvious 
I dunno, it’s more or less situationally-dependent. there are some of us who are not cut out for art, music, and other such endeavors. we just lack the talent, and trying to “teach” it to us is a waste of time. For those who have the talent, it can be very rewarding.
in Michigan that’s traffic offense code 2500, “Use of private property to avoid traffic control device” and will get you a ticket if the police see you do it.
In Virginia, VA Code § 46.2-833.1 provides that:
Your state may vary.
“Adults loved to say things like that but kids knew better.” 
That’s not evasion, strictly speaking. You still have to stop at the exit of the parking lot.

The reason the Panama canal has locks is because if it didn’t, the Atlantic and Pacific would collide into each other, causing great chaos and catastrophes.
“Compare” means only to tell similarities (hey- read the dictionary!). Teachers still spew out “compare and contrast” questions.
That “AD” in “the year AD 2016,” stands for “After Death.” That teacher ended up quitting teaching after like, 2 years, and becoming a clothing buyer for some department store. I had her as a student teacher in the 5th grade and got into a protracted argument with her, and no amount of logic or Latin would convince her.
The US debt would never reach a trillion dollars. I distinctly remember my teacher saying that would be impossible.
M&M’s were 95 percent sterilized dirt.
Don’t fan yourself, because it will actually make you hotter because it causes the perspiration to evaporate.

One of the contributions of the ancient Phoenicians, in addition to the alphabet, was: Phoenician blinds :eek:
(Different teachers.)
This. We actually had drills several times a month where we hid under our desks. Even as a young child I thought it was idiotic.

“No person shall drive any vehicle from a roadway to another roadway to avoid obeying the indicated traffic control indicated by such traffic control device.”
My eighth grade geography teacher told us that the capital of Brazil is Rio de Janeiro. Even when I told her that no, it’s Brasilia, she wouldn’t believe me until I went home, got our atlas, and took it to school to show her.
I a movie course in college, some jerk of a TA insisted the Dr. Strangelove character was based on Henry Kissinger.
Of course it was the early seventies, so to the academic types Nixon and his Crew were to blame for everything.
Not all the same teacher, I hope.
This is correct. Or at least it was in Texas in the late 90s when I got a ticket for it. :mad:
