I've been browsing through a few old threads on these boards, and I came across something a little worrying. To me, at least.
This happened in an ancient thread, by internet standards, which is why I've not revived the original post. Someone was talking about correcting a teacher's spelling, and how to go about it sensitively. One poster brought up a tangentially related point about correcting a teacher's science knowledge in class. They seemed horrified by the attitude, although I believe correcting an egregious error such as the one they mentioned must be done immediately, lest misconceptions take root.
My question is this:
Can you, as a teacher or parent, explain how the cause of seasons on Earth?
And, as an adult in a classroom, would you correct a teacher if you saw them teaching a class of thrity young minds a completely worthless misrepresentation of that?
