After watching the "What is Bitcoin?" video from bitcoin dot org as well as a quick tutorial on how to use electrum (dear god), we began the lesson.

I figure if they can get comfortable with this technology now, by the time they are adults they will have no issues using the blockchain for whatever monetary adventure they end up getting themselves into.

If I am to be honest, though, I hope to see one of my students (particularly those who have already taken an interest in bitcoin and love coding) become a blockchain maintainer.

It would be extra special to know one of my students became a bitcoin dev!

the 2 quotes above imply the kids were going to learn about bitcoin and blockchains. with the hope it inspires the kids to become bitcoin devs that maintain the code and support the blockchain

but the.. drum roll

Never did I specify lesson would be on bitcoin's base-layer.

you didnt teach them about bitcoin after all.. so didnt inspire them to get involved in bitcoin. but instead LN pretending to be bitcoin.

It's evident you had to make a lot of assumptions before posting this rhetoric.

yes i took your quotes and looked at what you said without the noobish disbelief that LN is bitcoin. because LN is not bitcoin.

heck even you said yourself you did not want to teach the kids bitcoin, or blockchains or bitcoin transactions.

so yea a disservice.

the kids didnt experience anything blockchain when doing their test transactions.. even titular self admitted that he thought that the blockchain stuff was boring and slow

The kids are kids. Don't make me repeat myself. Their interaction with bitcoin is more than enough and the teacher has gained my respect.

1. pretend you are teaching about the different networks but then pretend its all the same

Never pretended it's the same network.

2. pretend you are teaching them about bitcoin but then use a network that has no blockchain

They did transfer tBTC, though.

literally contradicting yourself
saying he did teach bitcoin, but then admit its not the same network and not even bitcoin but testnet pegs.

one thing you missed out on is LN payments are millisats which are not compatible with testnet or bitcoin network.
so again, not teaching bitcoin, but instead teaching 'LN msat of testnet coin pegs'

titular literally said he didnt specify the lesson was on bitcoin(in this forum topic) as his final honest admission, even if he was telling the kids they were learning about bitcoin
