Homeschooling - An opportunity to promote the heathen worldview?

Now we're all homebound, I find myself tasked with earning a crust via working from home on my laptop - but also overseeing the schooling of my 8 year old daughter. Now, she's been given plenty of work by her teacher to keep her busy while she's locked in. But I can't silence that little niggling voice in my head (Loki?) that suggests that I should use this opportunity to teach her about norse mythology, the history of the dark ages, ethics (from a heathen viewpoint, naturally) and other choice matters.

Thing is, I don't want to fill her head with stuff that is important to me, but won't actually help her when she does, finally return to school.

I'm hoping that she picks up a lot of my own heathen worldview through what I playfully refer to as "heathen familial osmosis".
