Pluto is still a planet, a dwarf planet. A dwarf person is still a person don't you know?
After reading David S' answer, I just had to laugh.
I used to think there were no bad questions (Long ago when I was a naive teacher) because any of them could be used to teach something. That may be true, but after the same question has been asked 46 times, you wonder if anybody out there is listening.
;-D Creativity requires imagination. Imagine what it would be like if people used their imagination to think of important questions that need important answers!
Can you think of a new way to use a 'Buckyball?' [1]

No, they have to learn 8 planets, all their known moons, the first 100 asteroids, plus at least 10 asteroids that approach Earth closely, and any 10 of the dwarf planets [must include Pluto]. They should be able to describe their mass, material composition, radius, average density, and subsolar blackbody temperature. If the object has a solid surface, they should be able to calculate the surface gravity and escape speed. They should be able to describe their orbit, giving the six classical orbital elements of each planet, dwarf planet, or asteroid. They should be able to calculate transfer orbits between any two solar system objects and the delta-vees necessary to the spaceflight maneuvers. Now go teach somebody.

No. You will need to learn more because now there will be planets, dwarf planets and other categories. So new books will be written and you will not be able to use the one your brother used last year.

Doesn't matter, I didn't even learn the planets in school. None of the teachers got around to that subject. I think it's just a commen knowlege thing.

Yes, and each and every one has to ask the same lame Pluto questions on this website.

Nothing wrong with your math.
