My secondary school had a demonstration skeleton, but it was the skeleton of a real person who donated their body to science.
The teachers had given them a male name, despite the skeleton being female. Apparently kids just expected skeletons to be male for some reason, and explaining the difference every time was annoying to teachers.
I didn’t have the brain capacity to realize that it might have been kinda messed up towards the real person that skeleton belonged to, but now that I think back on it… yeah, there’s problems with that.
Dang you just unlocked a confusing memory.
