الكذب على الأطفال

A lie-to-children is a simplified, and often technically incorrect, explanation of technical or complex subjects employed as a teaching method. It is usually not done with an intent to deceive, but instead seek to 'meet the child/pupil/student where they are', in order to facilitate initial comprehension, which they build upon over time as the learner's intellectual capacity expands. The technique has been incorporated by academics within the fields of biology, evolution, bioinformatics and the social sciences.
