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 Related: reassuring the kid that sometimes, when they just can't understand the instructions no matter how hard they try, it's because the instructions are incoherent in some way (editing errors, poor sentences, or sometimes who the heck knows).
