That sounds very plausible. But we would both be burned at the stake (if we used a different approach as educators) under the current system that wants to keep its old tired arguments. God forbid they should have to come up with a new set of lesson plans or allow kids to consider for themselves, with the information available, where we came from. Or even if the question is relevant.
