Haroom Kharem and Genevieve Collura were critical of the teaching practice, in a contribution to the 2010 book "Teaching Bilingual/Bicultural Children". The authors wrote that using this teaching method was a form of disrespect for the truth. Kharem and Collura lament that rather than imparting truth to children, "a pedagogy of stupidification is promoted in which teachers imbue students with untruths and then wonder why education has problems. Sooner or later the fabrications we teach students will come to light and the respect educators expect from students will become disingenuous."
