"History is written in blood" red just fits

I had a history teacher who corrected with red pen because she wanted us to visualize our mistakes as blood bleeding from our errors.

She was also in love with napoleon and believed his wife’s ghost was haunting her. Very interesting class.

"visualize our mistakes as blood bleeding from our errors"

u/celiac-sufferer Aug 26 '26

Im in Quebec so it was in cegep which is like our grade 11 mixed with college. It was filled with kooks, had one teacher that would draw on the floor and walls to demonstrate his points

That sounds amazing.

And I have to know, did the visualization work?

u/celiac-sufferer Aug 27 '26

I mean kind of. He was trying to explain the concept of 4D by drawing a square on the ground and standing in it. He also ran out of board space and just continued on the wall. Occasionally he’d lie on the floor and would give kids who missed their tests the exam to take home and complete 🤣 he was the total opposite of my history teacher he didn’t take any of it seriously at all.

To be fair he was a pretty big shot professor at a prestigious university so I think the cegep gig was just for extra cash lol. When I attended the uni everyone knew who he was. He also did amateur opera in his spare time

Lol she was interesting. She took every opportunity to emphasize how ugly napoleons wife was mixed with stories of her hauntings.

Sounds better than my teacher who was distantly related to Mary Todd Lincoln, and absolutely flipped her shit when it was suggested Abe was gay

Lol my AP World teacher met a wanted terrorist while playing hackysack under the Eiffel Tower. Also a fun class.

I had a professor who taught a Saudi princess and got her to write an essay on the inner dynamics of the royal family. Also a fun class he would dress as a pirate

Mistakes are often a good thing in school so I hate that she said that.

If you’re wrong on purpose, that isn’t a mistake. This means mistakes offer to teach you.

u/celiac-sufferer Aug 26 '26

Yeah she definitely was not of that philosophy.

She took a whole 15 min our first class to explain what standard deviation was so we all knew how average we were and that even with a 90% it didn’t mean we were excelling. Stoked a lot of competitiveness and back stabbing in the program. We all changed after that class lol

"Math makes me want to blow my brains out" red is relatable though.

u/SmallFox3 Aug 26 '26

Absolutely this, math was my least favorite subject, I cried at the kitchen table so many nights trying to do math & the folder it went in was definitely red.

u/Keaton427 Aug 26 '26

I see yellow as the sepia filter for history. Well mainly that, but history also just feels yellow.

u/Slierfox Aug 26 '26

How can it be it's only ever written by those still alive

With bloody hands

They may have "blood on their hands" but they ain't the ones fighting there the ones sending your family to do the fighting.

"Why isn't history white?"

It already is.
