> It's not fair to students to bake "harmless" lies into their early education, as a way to simplify the topic such that it becomes more easily teachable Childrens' brains are not fully developed. I see no gain from telling a 6 year old that "most numbers aren't countable". Especially because most numbers are never used or interacted with in any way shape or form. It's not "lying", it's separating concepts and prioritizing.
