Quite true. Benjamin Franklin was wrong. Today's technical literature equates current flow with electron flow. However since most electrical theory was developed in the 19th century, higher level courses still maintain "conventional current" (positive to negative) as standard in order to be consistent with historic publications. Makes it hard to jump between practical and theoretical.
