school subjects and notebook colors

[MoogleKupo]

That's so interesting the different colors each school assigned for core subjects
Red - History
Blue - Math
Yellow - English
Green - Science

So stupid that if you didn't have those colors, teachers weren't happy. That was 7th-9th grade though, by 10th you could use any color you felt but still in my junior year of hs my math teacher said while looking at us like we were breaking the rules or something, that we should all be using BLUE for math. Like years prior, but lady sorry some kids don't HAVE those colors to use and also. Don't be so strict about colors, WE know the color for the subject, not you, it's in our locker and we take it to class and you don't need to touch it so why is that an issue.

Lol rant over. Personally I liked the color assignments for those grades, I thought they corresponded well so now other schools seem odd to me. Like green for math or yellow for history, seems odd only because I didn't have it that way. Now I realize it doesn't matter but just gets kids acquainted with having different binders/notebooks/trapper keepers for each subject to keep track of.

Don't know how many times a kid had a 5 subject notebook used and took to every class. Funnily enough there was always a few, and usually 1 or 2 that almost never had notes but passed all the tests just fine, I aspire to be them

I always did this but like half-way through the semester, I just give up and use one journal for everything because I'm a dysfunctional mess.

High school:
Red for French
Green for chemistry/biology (always had these two subjects in different semesters)
Dark blue for physics (my greatest weakness)
Purple for music
Sky blue for English
Orange for math

Well when l was in school, l just used buch of theme folders, notebooks, and binders. 90% of them were Persona and Monster Hunter theme, so l actually don't know because they were all decorated with mainly those themes. But l can remember this very old memory that l used yellow for Language Arts alllll way in 3rd grade, somehow l remembered that.

the prettiest colors I owned in notebooks was dedicated to the class I favorited the most & the ugliest color the least favorite class

 

[ReanimatedSorceress]

Math - yellow
English - red
Science - blue
History - green

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

maths was yellow/orange
english was purple

[Cosmic_Crossfade]

Oh my gosh...I seriously can't remember lol It's been so long! I think it changed every year up until like 5th or 6th grade?

I think I remember blue being Math and Red was Social Studies though.

 

[frogslime]

this tweet just unlocked a memory for me lmfao

mine went like:
green for science (ALWAYS)
black/blue for math
yellow for history
purple or orange for english (fun colors for my fav subject lol)

how did yall do it?

Honestly? Green for science is so accurate??
Anyways, it's mostly black composition books as of recent with printer and drawings taped onto them.

 

[xiheeet]

honestly the one i remember is making math red, because red equals anger and i hated math class lol

SCREAMS! Mine was the complete opposite, lol, I made math blue b/c blues was my fav color and so was math class

---

as for the other subjects:

• history was always red
• chinese was green or black
• english literature was yellow
• science was blue

 

[DinosaurDumpster]

okay but my elementary school forced us to have specific colors for a specific subject. It changed up every few years, but the default was ALWAYS this:
Green for Science
Yellow for Writing
Red for Reading
Blue for Math
And I honestly don't remember what Social Studies was. I think it was shared with Science

but since i'm past those days here's what I have my colors set to right now:
Red for Algebra
Black for Theater (if i'm even going to need it)
Lavendar for English
Green for Science
White for Art (if i'm going to use it i'm going to customize it)
Light Blue for Japanese

Your teachers assigned colors in junior high/high school? I kind of get doing in in elementary school with young students, but it's weird that it went until your sophmore year.

The only thing I really remember my teachers saying they preferred were notebooks that had a perforated edge to tear pages out, so there weren't the rough pieces from coil-bound notebooks.

Surprisingly yes it was I junior high and I still don't get that really.

To be honest, I don't remember much of my elementary school. I do remember for each grade (my elementary school went from K-4th and the next school was 5th-8th and I don't know who's bright idea it was to put 5th graders and 8th graders near each other. I moved to a new school because of that issue, and this new high school was 7th-12th all in one school. ) anyway, each grade you were in the same room for each subject besides gym or music.

And I think folders and notebooks were assigned to us (multicolored and not usually matching) until third grade when we had to pick them from the stores ourselves.

Each school does things differently and when I went to the new school in 7th, having done homeschooling and coming from a school only up to 4th graders, people were confused a lot. Like constantly about everything I did, learned, was taught, my notebook colors and why I used this color for this or that and so much more.
There really shouldn't be so many differences so kids don't have to deal with potential ostracizing because of something slightly different. Yikes that took a turn lol, don't worry things were totally fine for me fortunately, but I'm just saying.

Wow l never knew teachers will be like that because of colors?! xD Very evil they are

I match color of the folder to how much I like the subject (biology gets blue, calculus gets orange, etc). For my notebook I just have 1 big one divided into 5 smaller sections (in royal blue of course).

 

[Lizbethhy]

I went to a school in elementary school that gave us colored notebooks and folders at random, years into it then were we assigned to pick our own colors (still elementary school) but junior high they assigned colors for us.
Yellow - English
Red - History
Blue - Math
Green - Science
I remember feeling embarrassed because I had a red binder for history and everybody else had a folder and a notebook, so I felt like an idiot but that was 7th grade lol. I got rid of that thing the third day of school but little did I know I'd need it later on

 

[AnonymousFish]

i remember in middle school they forced us to use a dumb color palette for everything! basically it was:
black for math
white for english
green for social studies and/or history
blue for science - specifically, NAVY blue idk why lol

but after sixth grade i ignored the rules (such a rebel :^) ) and started getting fun colors, like purple for english and yellow for second language courses (i.e., french)! c:

 

[SmrtLilCookie]

Digging really deep into the dusty memory banks here, since I started taking only digital notes in high school (when I got my first laptop).
- Red: Science and Math (the classes were almost always taught by the same teacher, so I split the notebook in half)
- Green: French
- Blue: Language Arts and Social Studies
- Other colours: ya’ll had other fun coloured notebooks??

Once I was done elementary school I switched to binders that followed this exact same colour scheme I kinda miss writing notes by hand, but I print too slowly to keep up and would’ve absolutely died in university if I tried.

 

[Alienfish]

I just used basic one and wrote the subject on the cover at some place. Usually I tried spending as little as possible on em.
