Being old I have noticed that a lot of people swear they didn't learn this or that in school. Even though they were to the same school as me. I think it's down to selective memory, it was just not registered because there was something more interesting at the time. Youth only being humans after all.

I think it comes down to what interests you. Nuggets like how different map projections impact size and shape of the earth is the kind of thing I would never forget.
Other kids could discuss specific goals, matches, titles and football players; sometimes from foreign leagues. Even though I vaguely enjoy watching the odd match, the details would instantly be lost to the ether.
