Right. Like why teach a kid to evaluate sources or think critically when you can just tell them to mindlessly follow whatever their teacher tells them even when it is obviously wrong.

I have to stop or I will really go off on a rant but goodness. People who think they are infallible are a menace to society.

How did you even manage to keep a straight face listening to this garbage?

ETA: I totally get kids need to be polite but the "I am always correct" mentality is unacceptable.
