I think it would be a better idea to send your child to a yeshivah whose hashkafos you follow. It is very hard for a child to understand when a Rebbe is teaching fire and brimstone against TV and the child’s parents say ‘its ok to watch”. Otherwise I think you will just be undermining the yeshivah’s credibility in the child’s eyes.

Of course. But no Yeshiva is perfect, and children should know the truth. Your example is too extreme. I’m talking about (for example) explaining why our Minhag is to (or not to) say “Afilu Sha’a Echas” in Asher Yatzar and the like.
