[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is mind-blowing that they don't teach kids how to take notes or study in middle school. [/quote]
Note taking was important when the teacher (and the text book) was the only source of the information. And then came the internet with all the information taught in MS/HS easily available in multiple formats. What really is the point of notes anymore? Good classroom teachers don't just "lecture" to students anymore. They have a variety of activities, simulations, labs, readings, etc. to engage students in the material. Copying from slides is not engaging to students at all, and a terrible way to learn material.[/quote]

They better learn how to take notes from a lecture because that was college is for most kids. Nobody taught me how to take notes but you figure out what works and what doesn't as you go along.[/quote]

i don't think this is true at all.  in the olden days you went to class and took notes.  if you missed it you needed to get notes from someone else.  if you miss a class now, you can go online and view all the slides.  some even have the lectures to watch.  way easier to take notes if you can stop and start the lecture.[/quote]
