But I think there is harm. I tell her Santa Claus is a myth, you bring her here, and she sees hundreds of gullible children, meets a very convincing old man with real whiskers... this sets up a very harmful mental conflict within her. What is she going to think? Who is she going to believe? And by filling them full of fairy tales, they grow up considering life a fantasy instead of a reality.
Who knew Doris Walker (from Miracle on 34th Street) took up substitute teaching? Honestly, it might be fine for Susan, but (assuming the story's true) a sub doesn't have the right to act so irresponsibly with first graders who are other people's kids, for goodness sake. They want to know the history of Nickolas of Myrna when they're older, they can watch the History Channel like the rest of us do. Via Joanne Jacobs.
