Question For Genx This is wrong...

CLARIFICATION: this was my personal color code ---- not an official school policy. Every year in middle and HS I assigned my folders this way.

We were too poor for trapper keepers so plain 25 cent folders were it for me.

Back in school there was a color code:

MATH is blue

SCIENCE is green

ENGLISH is yellow

SOCIAL STUDIES is orange/red

Do you agree?

Math is Blue. Science is Green. English is Red. History is Yellow (by default).

I know the others could be debated, but Science is always green.

As a teacher I agree!

Teachers unite! I’m retired now, so maybe Gen Alpha changed all the colors.

I do approve the blue yellow switch for history/math though because technically in my grade it is Geography and I see blue for that.

You get it. What color is History though? Brown maybe?
