[quote=Anonymous][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]

That's 20 years expired advice. No one takes needs to take notes from lectures anymore. Notes are for collecting research for essays. Good classes don't waste class time on lectures. [/quote]

I have a junior in college and one in 1st year med school and you are so wrong [/quote]
