Step by step.
First you tell them that your system is more convenient then reading the
books yourself. Then you replace common sense with new daily 'facts'.
Nothing has really changed over the years; if you point out errors, the
mere response is that it is still work in progress (see how great
opportunities this has), for now it is good enough to entertain
children. As if children do not deserve the best access to true
knowledge and curiosity.
Divide & conquer (wie is er niet groot mee geworden ;-)
