[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids shouldn’t be spending more time learning how to gather information, most of the time should be spent learning the material. [/quote]

This is completely wrong. How to gather and organize information is a key skill that kids need to learn to succeed later.[/quote]

When it's done in a deliberate and thoughtful way at a point where children can handle it, absolutely. Not in middle school, and not because teachers are clearly lazy and ignorant and just can't be bothered to regroup and organize their sources.

The teacher is pointing them to the sources, it is up to them to organize the sources as best suits them because how to organize study materials will vary with each child's learning style. How to organize their school papers is a skill kids should be learning long before 7th/9th grade; if they haven't, that's a failing of their past teachers (and, frankly, their parents), not the current teachers.[/quote]
