- skissane 7y agoA "lie" presumes you know the truth. These teachers weren't consciously simplifying things for the students. If that was what they were doing, they could have explained the missing details if challenged on them. A good teacher really knows their subject, as opposed to just mindlessly repeating whatever the textbook says.
- schoen 7y agoThat's an excellent point.
