A teachable moment, and a great opportunity to teach your children what I taught my kid on the first day of 1st grade:
“Some of what they teach you in school is always true. Some is true for now. And some of it is totally wrong. It will be your job in school to find out which is which.”
Now my teenager is a high school sophomore, and I’m proud to say that she has learned that lesson well.
I subbed so I’d know what was being taught. The students enjoyed when we went off curriculum to point out falsehoods in their texts and to discuss current events. Not once in 13 years did a teacher ever confront me.
