The discussion centers on how electricity flow is taught in different educational contexts, with participants sharing their experiences from various countries, including the US, Canada, and France. Many learned that conventional current flows from positive to negative, while electron flow is from negative to positive, leading to confusion about the terminology used. In military tech schools, the focus was often on electron flow, while high school and college physics classes typically taught conventional current. The conversation highlights the historical context of these teaching methods and the impact of terminology on understanding electrical concepts. Overall, the thread reveals a mix of educational approaches and the ongoing debate about the best way to teach electricity flow.
