So what's going to happen when the kids start critically thinking and making judgements about the authority of school administration and teachers?

They should do. Teachers make mistakes just like the rest of us and if kids do have some sort of reason and feel for what makes sense and can be proven rather than just take everything at face value then they will grow up to be much better educated and stronger minded individuals than those who take every single piece of information (wrong or right) at face value. Personally, i had some terrible teachers and luckily i was a strong minded kid who liked to pick out every single inaccuracy in what the teachers said. Unfortunately these got to be more numerous as i grew older and i lost faith in the whole system towards the end of my schooling. And looking back, my loss of faith was clearly justified.
So teaching kids all sides of the story and making them aware of alternative beliefs will enable them to sort the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, in terms of education.
