My first grade teacher never said, “and then, kinderlach, Moshe Rabbeinu said, ‘Dasan and Aviram, you are reshaim!'” She told us the story and that they were reshaim. Which, as Little Froggie said, is in the Torah.
So she will be able to sleep in peace tonight. Or grade alef-bais worksheets or whatever it is first grade teachers do.
This is just nitpicking already.
Especially when you’ve got so much better stuff… Yehuda and Tamar, anyone?
So it’s not really the teachers being ignorant so much as their trying to keep the kids that way.
Most “ignorant” stuff I’ve heard teachers say is more just mixing up names in their heads. (Okay, so I’m being dan lekaf zechus here, but isn’t that the general idea behind life?)
