Are there any hidden dangers in teaching kids fairytale stories?

One danger is that it can create unrealistic expectations. For example, in many fairy tales, characters are instantly rewarded for being good or beautiful. Kids may grow up thinking that life will be the same, and get disappointed when they face real - world challenges where rewards don't come so easily.

Kids fairytale stories are important because they help kids to develop their imagination.

For example, the story of the Good Samaritan teaches kids to be helpful to those in need. Another benefit is cultural knowledge.

Also, it can strengthen family bonds as it becomes a shared family activity.

No. A secular school should remain neutral in terms of religion. The focus in such schools is on academic subjects like history, language, and physical education. Bringing in biblical stories could lead to issues of religious indoctrination, which is against the idea of a secular educational environment. Also, students come from diverse religious backgrounds or may have no religious beliefs at all, so it's unfair to single out one religious text for teaching.
