  • I made a website that tells you, based on the year you graduated high school, what your school (probably) got wrong!

  • Haha yeah, I ended up figuring out how to delete it but kept the original text because I thought it'd be a good bit. And thanks for the info! Glad to know its like that either way

  • Posting a reply now, should be a Github link on the site to it as public. If not, github.com/MiraLazine/SchoolGotWrong

    I think it should be open source but if its not lmk, I'd love to have some help on this because I mostly did this to learn

  • Update with context for you all since this post is unexpectedly taking off,

    This was a small project I made in 5 hours as just a "huh, this would be neat to make!" and as a first coding project. I mostly shared it expecting a little bit of feedback but nothing too major, clearly I underestimated what to expect from it lol.

    There's been a lot of really good suggestions for how to improve the site and make it better, so thank yall for that! Things I'm planning on doing are:

    -Making open source so people can edit. Its just basic HTML and JavaScript so nothing too complex there

    -Suggestions box on the site

    -Some type of regional variations listed on the site

    -If possible, more obscure myths and more tied to the curriculum of schools

    -Optimizing the site for mobile

    Probably more to come as well, but no estimates on a timeframe since I'm very much so new to this haha

    Edit: Additional clarification, yes this site is only viable for Americans right now. Would love to help make it work internationally but I'm sure not the person to try and say what people in other countries were taught in school, so if someone wants to help with that lmk!

    It should work better on mobile devices now, but if there's any repeated issues let me know and I can try to fix them.

    It should also be public on Github, check out the description tab on the website for more info. My first time making a project open source (or even having one at all) so lmk if there's any issues!

  • Yeah, that was my big issue with the sites content. I wanted to find a list of obscure things taught wrong by decade, but all I could track down were a few myths that were shared across many different decades, so it led to the current (and imperfect) result.

    I want to try and update the site to be more focused on what you mention - things that were taught and later revised, but the only way I can think to do that so far is track down old textbooks and compare them to what's known now, which I'm not sure the best/most efficient way to do that, or even where to find textbooks by year.

    All this to say, hopefully I'll be able to improve the site in due time to make it better represent different facts and whatnot

  • I have a hunch this is it. I'll try your method and see if it works

  • I'm sorry for your loss, thanks for sharing. Made the corrections to the page.

    I've heard the page doesn't work on mobile phones very well, its hard for me to test since it works decently on mine but I think I know a fix I can add in a bit

  • That's a good idea, thanks! I do have an email listed for now but I know not everyone would want to email someone random so I'll look into adding that in a bit

  • That's odd, thanks for pointing it out. I'll see if I can't make a fix

  • Any suggestions for more widely spread myths? Wanna incorporate more but had trouble finding them as being definitely taught in schools

  • Thanks! I'm hoping to update it with some more obscure ones, but I think the fact that I had a little bit of trouble finding true myths is a good thing haha

  • I strongly debated on including school based myths, but wasn't sure how to go about researching. I'll do some digging and see if I can't make an update

  • Hey thanks! What's the suggested term instead? This is the first I'm hearing of the term differences so wanna fix it up

  • You're not the first person to mention some regional differences. Think this is opening up a bigger research project of year graduated to region!

  • Mildly Interesting @lemmy.world
