      Come to think of it, all of my history / social science folders were yellow.

      It weird how nature do that.

        I feel like the dad is describing exactly how I color tabbed my folders.

        Maybe there was some kind of standard back in the day?

        Red as shit. Science is blue and English is green, too, I’m pretty certain this is how I organized my school subjects

        yellow is pretty hard to make. low density structures and blue circuits completely fuck your copper lines unless you prepare

    Where do you have only one “science” school subject? I always had physics, chemistry and biology separately.

      Math or history didn’t bother you? The last time you had a class called “Science” was probably the same as the last time you had a class called “Math” and a class called “History”: elementary or junior high.

      They’re being used as general subject terms…

        That’s a very American point of view. I had multiple science classes (Physics, Biology, Chemistry) and a single Math and History class each. (I’m from Germany)

        The different math classes that I know of from the US (Trig, Calculus, etc.) are all just taught in Math class according to the school year you’re in.

        I always had just one math class (the last one was “Math for physicists 3”, in the third semester at university) and what would “history” be split into as a school subject?

          My high school offered US History, Religion History, World History, European History and 20th Century History. US Govt and Economics, Anthropology and Film History were also taught by the same dept and the credits went towards social studies requirements.

    In my country, squared paper notebooks are usually green, lined red and blank blue. It’s been like that for decades. So math is green.

      It got a little out of hand with the original movies. Despite everyone wearing red jackets, their collars had colors based on their departments. There were seven in total at that time:

      • Red = Trainee
      • Light Green = Medical
      • Dark Green = Security
      • Yellow = Engineering
      • Blue = Special Services
      • Gray = Science
      • White = Command

    I once heard that there is a theory that things written on yellow is more memorable. Which is why the default original color for legal pads, post-its, and highlighters is yellow.

    So yellow should be what ever you need to memorize more. So it depends on your teacher and how much of the subject matter needs to be memorized. I’d say it should be history as there are a lot of dates and minute details, but I could also understand it being used for any subject that needs memorization like foreign languages, science, and even math.

    Blue and green are both calming colors so those should either be reserved for that classes that give you the most stress or the classes that benefit the most from being calm, like creative writing or music.

    Red is an exciting color, use it on what ever subject you are most confident i or interested in.

    I guess I think the bearded guy (wait…it that a beard or just a long mustache?) Is using my system correctly.
