Don't think we ever learned the difference between Alligators and Crocodiles either. Nor did my oldest daughter. Photosynthesis? Yes. Biomes? Absolutely. The nine planets? Well there's only eight now. (Coincidentally, today's the 13th anniversary of THAT Travesty).

I always remembered this because stalagmites need to be 'mighty' to be able to grow from the ground, while stalactites had gravity to help them.

I don't think I'd ever even heard that alligator/crocodile fact. The way I knew to distinguish them was that a crocodile's teeth stick out of its mouth when its shut

This

Yeah I probably would have got the alligator and crocodile stuff wrong but because it was tied to a question I knew it was simple.

I never learned about the former in a class setting, but I lived in Florida for a spell.
I did learn the later in school and remembered.

And stalagmites might some day reach them.

Neither of these were things I learned in middle school, or anywhere else. I only knew the stalactite thing from visiting a local cave and having the tour guide rattle off that anecdote.
