If that doesn't work, you still have to work within the system or find a new system. In may be helpful to become familiar with local school policy, to see if what they're teaching is technically allowed, and use that to your advantage. However, since I only know how US public schools operate, I'm don't think I can give a point-to-point that would apply for most schools in the world. | |

GitHub STOP HELPING ICE | I do think there's a bit of a difference in the case of "disagreeing with teachers" though, because of the concept of falsifiability. If the teacher says 6 times 7 is 45, or that the US Declaration of Independence was signed in 1781, these errors are falsifiable. On the other hand, if the teacher says "we don't really know if there were dinosaurs or if God just put dinosaur bones there to test our faith", that statement is non-falsifiable (in their framework, at least) but loaded to bias children against actual facts and learning. | |

This answer contains a lot of the ideas I was looking for, and things I suspected might be good answers but don't have any experience on the topic to judge whether to trust that intuition or not. I especially like what you wrote on religious themes in literature. | |
