Does Education Corrupts?


I was reading on how Socrates taught his students. It seems that he started with figuring out his students’ beliefs. Next using the tools of dialogue and logic he would slowly pull them away from those beliefs. My classical training is not strong but wasn’t Socrates convicted of corrupting the youth? Is this what education supposed to do (corrupt or challenge our beliefs)?
