    I failed a test because I said there were only 8 planets and the “correct” answer was 9. The teacher didn’t know Pluto had been demoted. Lol

      Oh I had a similar experience in elementary school. Our teacher knew and told us that Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore but because the textbook was out of date, she told us that if it came up on our tests, consider Pluto a planet anyway.
