It's no theory in any other than the colloquial use of the word--it's certainly not a scientific theory. Should it be mentioned? I suppose, briefly, in the same sense that they discuss geocentrism as a thoroughly-debunked piece of folk superstition.
its in the ASTRONOMY FOR RETARDS... thats the cousin of Astronomy for Dummies
It's not a theory, so no...
Only in terms of how gullible people can be.
No, I don't even know why this is even a thing anymore.

School and science books are intended to teach facts. Flat earth belongs in mythology books, not one of the sciences.
Only derisively - same for astrology.
In science, there's no such thing as "flat earth theory". It's barely a credible hypothesis. A couple of hours with inexpensive conventional surveying equipment is enough to conduct a falsifying experiment.
Fantasy is not part of astronomy.
I don't think there's ever really been a theory. It's more an hypothesis. I think it should be mentioned in social studies texts, like creationism, perhaps as an illustration of how misconceptions spread and are adopted.
It would depend on how far into the past the book wanted to go.
A ''that was then'' and ''this is now'' kind of thing.
In an historical ( even possibly , hysterical) context.
I need help getting my Ged but idk where to start ?
I have a 3.2 GPA. What grades do I need to get my junior first semester and second semester (high school) to get to at least a 3.5 GPA?
How do I know if my supervisor thinks I am not good enough?
