Muslims are forbidden to lie even as a game? Would you be forbidden to bluff when playing poker? Just curious.
 
^ HUH?!

Is there no other way that you can teach the kids about 'not blindly accepting what authority figures have to say'?

I find that kids like plain talking, so tell them as it is, i.e. tell them that people can lie and deceive and so you should think about things before accepting what they have to say....
Grade 8, meaning about age 10-11 right? If so then let the innocent live innocently, they usually learn as they grow older....just my opinion, a bit like when parents don't tell their kids about Father Christmas being imaginary....

But if you really want to do this thing, don't you think the kids will start not trusting what you say, if you get what I'm saying?
How would you go about it? Curious........

Are you serious or making a funny? You don't know what Poker is?

Is poker a game known only in North America? I was under the belief that it was known worldwide.

It is a card game. It can be a gambling game, but doesn't have to be.

I don't think any other way would truly get the message accross as well.

That will only make them alert for dishonest people, outgroup people, people unlike themselves and unlike the authority figures they follow.

I'm pretty sure 10 or 11 is way too young for grade 8. Grade 8 is one grade before highschool.

The Santa lie is a perfect example of telling lies to children which often later makes them better critical thinkers. It is unfortunate that the Santa lie is so emotionally charged though. When they find out they may be like "WHAT?! No more presents? Maybe I better not tell anybody I know, I'll keep getting presents that way" hehe

But if you really want to do this thing, don't you think the kids will start not trusting what you say, if you get what I'm saying?

Yes. That is the purpose. And that is why you have the teacher do it near the end of their term as that child's teacher. And in gereral, if I'm teaching somebody I don't want them blindly accepting everything I say. I want them engaged in critical thought and learning by thinking, not memorizing or blindly accepting.

In England that's the age you are before going to high school, or secondary school as it's known here.....

....Plainly speaking, I wouldn't want a kid of mine to be in your class, lol, they'd come home and tell lies, 'coz if the teacher's doing it then why can't I...

...but you're entitled to your opinion of course, and I don't think I'm moving to Canada any time in the near future so....;D
