The milk bottle had double walls, creating a very thin chamber for the milk, making it appear full when there was really very little fluid.

When you tipped it, that fluid would empty into the cap.

The recorder thing is because it teaches kids (or gives them more chances to practice) breath control.

You pull it out and it ends up at 90 degrees to the wall. You then climb up and down it.

Or a dust cover. I had 1 that was sold as a dust cover to help keep it clean.
CharliePapaBravo
I thought the same thing, then I noticed the holes for the speaker. It could be both a cover and a holster!
SirRichardOfHead
Perhaps, but still at most it protects the floor a bit if you drop that thing.

Right!?

I still charge new phones before starting them. Just to be safe.
scurran72
You're supposed to run it dead then charge it full.
Maitis
Ive done that after chraging it. But Ive also read that that doesnt have any effect either. So i guess its kinda whatever?
scurran72
I've always booted up after getting, kill it, then charge. But if no difference, carry on lol

Most of these ideas apply to older battery technologies, Li-ion doesn't need as much pampering.

I relate more to more these in the 80's and the others, maybe I was tad too old for them, in the 90's.
NuclearButtPlugFromPlanetX
It was a mix for me. Born in 1980, so in the 90s I turned 10 and 19. A lot happens between 4th grade and sophomore year in college.
sammyismycat
Lol yeah i was born in 76 so most of it was 80's for me. I was in Jr. High in 1990 so I was a little old for some of the cartoons and games.

I always thought it was a shirt around his waist. Even when I saw the collar I tried to reason it was two shirts the proportions are all off

#5 As a 90s kid who attended 4 different public elementary schools (and a junior high and high school), I never once saw a school uniform.
Zaayl
I think its more a catholic/private school thing. Public school system in the US cant afford to be giving out uniforms to kids.
Raecracy123abc
Now public school in my area require uniforms and the private schools don't have them. Plus btw parents pay for the uniforms
hetnkik999
I assumed they'd make you buy them.
Zaayl
Yet another reason why they don't do that. Too many parents wouldn't be able to afford it.
hetnkik999
Turns out they do that and they're expensive https://qz.com/quartzy/1382336/school-uniforms-are-rapidly-on-the-rise-at-us-public-schools/
Zaayl
Everything in the article reminds me how absolutely idiotic the people who run school districts are and how glad I am to be out of school.
Sutashi
Private schools in the US. I think overseas have uniforms in public school. At least according to TV.
hetnkik999
I was actually reading an article printed last year and over 25% of US public schools now require uniforms. Crazy.
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
I think that's mainly a UK thing, no ? We def don't had them in Germany.

Basis of music theory. Also, teacher approved revenge on parents who let their kids rule the roost.

Also, music education may be the only thing that’ll save us from a slow slip into shitty music.

Apparently most of the internet thinks we should be assigned trades at birth and only learn directly applicable skills.

Also music and the arts help with creative thinking

Also leaning how to read music helps with mathmatics and spacial awareness.
bbrown1012
Granddaughter received a keyboard for Christmas. She said learning the recorder in 3rd grade has helped more than 2 years in band.
Muttons1337
That's some simple maths though.

Yes fractions and ratios are simple math but they are the foundation to more complex math

How does reading help with spatial awareness?
rainyrivers
https://www.jstor.org/stable/40319006?seq=1 Not sure if you'll be able to read but basically it has to do with the bodies recognition of

Reading music. It's a spatial language it could give you an intuitive sense of distance between noncorporeal concepts via written script.
FlexGunship
Dead serious, I credit music with helping me understand calculus intuitively.
mistermixelpix
Music and mathematics are very closely linked. Generally people with a strength/affinity for one have it for the other.

A lot of these date back to the 70s at least. Also these are great for carpentry; I buy them in bulk:
Skipadedodah
We had a prick in grade school who stole one or two pencil segments during recess rendering them useless
brickyphone
How so are they good for carpentry?
thechelonianshelmet
Colour coding pieces to join together?
Tarentules
I'd assume rather bright colors are better for marking spots to cut or they just wrote better on most woods possibly

If your screw is stripped you can use this as a drill bit

They'll punch right through a 6" thick piece of oak.

1) Instead of having to sharpen a carpenters pencil, I just switch leads when the points get dull, or when I need to draw a very fine line.
JAFIOI
2) Also, I dont buy colored ones, I just buy the kind with standard leads.
Barbafrillo
Its not lead is it? I think its a common missconception and its graphite instead?
JAFIOI
Commonly called pencil lead, but you're correct, it's graphite.

They're rare, never seen one in the States. Went over to poland, responsible for rebounding a volleyball into the back of my head!
Sutashi
My elementary had the peg boards. Used to love them. Never had ropes or ?ladders?
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
We had them in the UK. One end wheels out so there's a climbing frame 90 deg to the wall.
Meridoch
They had them at my high school. What were they?
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
Climbing frames. They are hinged at one end and there's a wheel at the other so they can be set out into the hall and bolted into the floor
Ghlargh
They work as attachment points for some exercise equipment but also as ladders. I have only seen them with even spacing though.
