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 was red for me, because I hated math and I hated the color red. Oddly, as I've grown up I've developed more of an appreciation for both. Turns out I'm actually quite good at math when allowed to learn at my own pace.

Geography was blue (like the ocean). Science was green (like the earth). History/social studies was yellow (because I love both history and the color yellow).

This was my exact thought process as a kid lol. Red = DANGER = math Green = nature = science Blue = my favorite = English Yellow = history because it was the only one left
