[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My smart college freshman is kind of like this, and it really bothers me.

[b]I look at the way they do google searches when they want to research something, and it's awful.  They read too quickly, and if the answer doesn't jump out at them in 5 seconds, they move on.[/b]

I've told them repeatedly to slow down.

Even the way both my kids click on stuff is too quick and impatient, and they make mistakes.  I'm fast on the keyboard but accurate; they are fast, too, but not as accurate.

I'm a pretty impatient person and read quickly, too, but DC is way worse and misses things.

Having stated that, I think a lot of these students are immature, and they may become more curious about the world outside what's in front of their face as they get older.[/quote]

We've been noticing that too.  It really scares us because it leaves them open to easy manipulation.[/quote]

So teach them a solid bed of facts and make them analyze arguments for logical fallacies.[/quote]
