Cape

Excellent point made.

Your first sentence says it all and I agree.

I am in my late sixties and when I was in school some teachers actually taught this. They made us think about, question and research options and come up with our own solutions to present to the class on how we arrived at those solutions.

No stupid questions or ideas they would say. Work it out for yourself. Think for yourself.

My parents did the same.

Now kids don’t know how to do anything for themselves. They just ask Google for the answer and assume it’s the right thing to do.

Just part of the dumbing down process.
