I’ve thought that I was going to have to teach two lessons to my kids as they get up into the place where they’re going to have to take a “worldly knowledge” evaluation test.

One of the truth, and one of what the world wants you to think.

You do.

My kids figured out early on to give back to the teachers what they want to hear, not what they really believe.

That's what I tell my kids. Go ahead and give the answer the teacher wants for the test. That doesn't mean it's true or that you have to accept it as being true.

I explain that, back in my day, we 3rd-graders would point out how So America fit into the shape of Africa as though the two had once been joined. "Oh no, pooh, pooh.", the teacher said. "That's just a coincidence. Science says that didn't happen."

Funny how 3rd-graders turned out to be right and 'science' was wrong. LOL!
