I swear a social studies teacher told us that most rivers tend to flow north to south. Young impressionable child I was, I of course filed it away as a long-term core memory – right there next to PEMDAS, FOIL, and so on.
Then I mentioned it in college and got fucking embarrassed.
I was taught the same. I got extra credit for memorizing that the Nile River was a “notable exception”.
While I didn’t go to school in Texas, our school district used material developed there. It figures.
Similar, I had one declare rivers flow towards the equator. Which is slightly better than claiming they all flow N to S, but still inaccurate.
Rivers flow downhill. That’s it. In case anyone else needs to check their mental model of the world.
