Lie-to-children
I was taught that computer science is the study of abstractions. In my opinion, an abstraction is a kind of story, and storytelling is the most powerful tool that human beings have had at their disposal.

Yes. So, imagining education as progressively peeling off layers of abstraction is closer to the truth than "lie to children".
