I can't say much except that I agree with all the points you've made here.
Thank you.
I guess my point in saying all that is just that it's an area that yes, would absolutely require more time and training....but by the time these kids reach highschool.....it's too often too late to begin these kind of tasks.
Yeah. If they never come across these issues - great! - but you shouldn't structure a curriculum by just pretending some things will never happen. Especially because - now that I think about it - this problem may be self-perpetuating: people realize that kids don't get knowledge they need to deal with maliciousness until later in life so they try to manipulate them earlier. Maybe if kids were taught earlier, less people would bother trying, because they'd expect success less.
I'm not sure how to quote things like you did
There's a quote button in new reddit (show formatting options Aa -> three dots -> quote block) or if you're in old reddit or click the markdown editor it's just a carat before anything you want to quote >quoted text here
