I am not sure what you think you will achieve by doing that. The teachers grasp of astronomy may come from the astrology columns in the newspaper. I don't think we can expect teachers, and especially primary school teachers, to be highly knowledgable in all fields of science and technology. Most people get limited exposure to this stuff. About all of us are specialists in one field or another.
I suspect all you need to do is provide some information in one form or another. Your job is to educate the public, including students and teachers, not belittle them.
