Does it matter if schools teach things that are incorrect

<Moulton> Erkan, does it matter much if people believe things that aren't really so?
<Erkan_Yilmaz> matter to whom? to me? no
<Erkan_Yilmaz> to someone else? perhaps

<Moulton> Does it matter if schools teach things that are incorrect?
<Erkan_Yilmaz> hehe
<Erkan_Yilmaz> you didn't like my answer as it seems
<Erkan_Yilmaz> answer to 2nd q.: yes, it does
<Erkan_Yilmaz> one case where they teach incorrect could be worthwhile though:
<Erkan_Yilmaz> when after teaching: they clarify that it was taught wrong + make so obvious to the learner that they just got tricked, so students can be more critical
