Website idea: you input the year you graduated high school and the website generates a list of outdated “facts” and concepts you were taught in school that have since been disproven.

Kind of like a car warranty recall, but for your education. I love it.
Just curious: Does the list always get shorter with time? Or are today's students taught some untruths that yesterday's students were not?

Maybe people can be fed list of wikipedia list of misconception and the state which one they believed and age/location. Then it can give best guess for new people based on age/location.

I'm sorry - I guess they've been changing things, but I just can't get used to the supposed idea of a world without luminiferous aether or phlogiston. They made so much sense back in school - I don't know why they felt the need to make up new stuff.
