Why fairy tales are better than their reputation

Once upon a time there was a primary school teacher who lived in Australia and his name was Glenn Saxby. The experienced educator was sometimes plagued by doubts: he had noticed that a popular teaching material was losing its good reputation – fairy tales. Stories were once the primary means of teaching children about life; meanwhile, people were much more critical of fairy tales. They considered them unrealistic, unbalanced, unfashionable. So had the centuries-old traditions actually become obsolete, or were they better than their reputation?
