Today i was teaching technology to a class from 11 years old to 14 years old children.
At a certain point i was really near to the disaster. I was making them to think about the way they could use to decide if a source of information is trustworthy or not.

The discussion was like:

Me: how can you decide if the TV is right or wrong?
Them: we can check on the Internet.
Me: and how can you decide if that specific website is right or wrong?
Them: We check on another website.
Me: and how can you decide if the other website is right or wrong?
Them: We will check on a book.
Me: And how can you decide if the book is right or wrong?
Them: We ask our parents.

At this specific time i really risked to make a terrible mistake, destroying their parents’ perfection. Just a second before saying the terrible sentence i figured out their parents killing myself on a giant campfire.

Me: Right! Ask your parents! … Lets talk about something else…
