It's not wrong for paints. If you mix red, blue, and yellow in pairs,
you get purple, green, and orange, giving kids a perfectly useful set of
colors to work from. If you were to use red, blue, and green, how on
earth would you get yellow?

It's a popular pastime to decry education today, but I think, based on
comparing what my kids get and what I got (and I turned out all right*),
that things are OK from the teacher's end.
