Why would you let 'teachers' who loathe your values, and who despise your civilization, 'educate' your kids?

My solution to this problem (after choosing the best school I can find) is to tell my kids explicitly that a lot of the stuff they're going to learn in school is bullshit, and explain the different reasons why.
Arguably they're net ahead if they get inoculated against bullshit in this way. Even when they're being taught bogus things, they're still learning, just not the lesson the teachers think they're teaching.

Parents often request teachers who have a track record of success and don’t push bogus things.

I like that. Shielding kids from bs doesn’t really prepare them for the real world.

Inauculation against bullshit is also, in and of itself, a useful skill to develop. I wonder if that can be grown in kids

There must be more efficient ways to teach kids how to resist bad ideas, than by 13 years of public indoctrination negated by 13 years of parental counter-indoctrination.

I mean, just ask the simplest of questions: what is the bloody thing FOR?!

This is the main lesson I learned from IB classes in high school. Of course it turned me into a lifelong skeptic.

My concern would be that navigating this would be harder the younger the kids are.
