Someone once told me that there are two types of "smart". Book smart and street smart. Just because you memorize a book (book smart) doesn't mean you know how to do something. Sometimes knowing where to find the answer is more important that knowing the answer itself.
Wish I could remember who said this ...
A agree that it is very important to know how to quickly find information. Now, more than ever researching,skimming,organizing are what children need to know.
