here's a good thing to tell school-age children: the textbooks they use to learn are made by people, and those people might gloss over or omit parts of the whole truth, accidentally or intentionally
basically just teach kids to be critical of their sources of info and ask really good questions
@typhlosion it's also important to say when you don't know and look it up together, including checking sources. So they learn how to as a part of the learning experience
@Sailorplutoid exactly! it's all part of learning how to learn responsibly, which most schools apparently do a terrible job of
@Sailorplutoid @theoutrider sounds like the "everyone else is with me so *you* must be the wrong one" argument?
@typhlosion @theoutrider That or "Memorize the facts, but don't focus on the why or the how to figure it out"
