Similar rant. In the second grade our teacher (FUCK YOU MRS MURRY) had drawn the orbit of the Earth around the sun and was telling us that because it was elliptical and that's why we had summer; the Earth was closer to the sun and the sun was warm.

She basically drew an oval on the chalkboard and put the sun smack in the center. It didn't make any sense to me so I kept asking why there weren't two summers in a year if an orbit was a year and the earth passed close the sun twice...

It wasn't until the 3rd or 4th grade when I got a hold of an illustrated astronomy book that showed our titled planet and explained the seasons.
