The child is an active agent, and if the school is "dysfunctional", I can't see how this diminishes the power of the child to develop.
I recently skimmed my granddaughter’s history book. Very little in it you could actually pin down as actually wrong - but the cumulative effect was Democrat propaganda. Scant mention of George Washington, or any other founder. Gloss over the founding era. Spend all your time learning about women and blacks. Mention Ronald Reagan? Yes - and ask the student to consider what benefit accrues to the country by having an actor for a president.

The “dysfunction” is absorbing the child’s time and energy having to learn things of little import - and calling it “History.” You read that book, you know very little more history than if you never even saw its cover.
