What may be the opposite word of teach?

I think
an antonym or the opposite of "teach" is href="https://www.thefreedictionary.com/indoctrinate" target="_blank"
title="indoctrinate">"indoctrinate".

I'm
thinking of the negative of this word. One dictionary definition of
indoctrinate is:

          To imbue with a partisan or ideological
point of view

In essence, there is no teaching here, in the sense
that teacher and student bounce ideas, concepts, opinions, and such off of each other.
Indoctrination often dispenses with "give and take" between teacher and student. It is
often someone trying to cram their beliefs down the throat of the recipient.


Great teaching allows for discussion, questioning, opposite viewpoints, and more. With
this type of teaching, quality learning takes place.
