Answer: Definitely not. There are websites in the world that are so fake but look so real. Case and point: google Martin Luther King or just type in martinlutherking.org. people usually think that .orgs are very reliable websites, but in this case, it is definitely not. .orgs just mean that it is a nonprofit organization. Not an organization that is reliable, but just a non profit organization. If you go to the bottom of the main page of martinlutherking.org, it is created by stormfront, which is a "white pride world wide" group that created the website to trick kids into thinking that Martin Luther King Jr. was really just a horrible person. Imagine that a child would come across this website and believe that it is true.
It is important to teach kids about websites and teach them ways to check to make sure that the information they are looking at is all credible. I think that this is a big problem for a lot of students. You can never start too young when it comes to teaching kids about credibility.
