That's true, but that generation is grown up now, and will almost certainly be passing their knowledge on to the next generation when that comes along so the time for education to be effective is long gone. While schools can influence young impressionable minds with ideas that are completely contrary to those of their parents for a short while, the parent always wins out in the end. And no child is ever going to refuse to play a game downloaded by its parent on principle just because a teacher says it is wrong.
