This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I went to a lot of different primary schools (UK here, that's up-to-11-years-old) and there absolutely were ones where this happened. There were also good ones.

Well that's just upsetting. What's the point of even asking trick questions like that if you're just gonna provide an inaccurate answer? Like, it's absolutely terrible teaching. If you're not comfortable teaching the concept of negative numbers just... don't ask questions where the answers are negative? Completely batshit
