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 That's a hard lesson to learn. When I was a kid (and I suspect this is true of most kids) every adult was a Supreme Authority of Truth. Anything they said, I believed without question, because they were Grown Ups.
But you're absolutely right that we should be teaching critical thinking skills young, and part of that means questioning authority.
