        I can google with the best but an educated person should know how and where to find info to build on your own knowledge.

        It's about knowing what terms to google and which sources to trust. People need to learn how to think critically. Logically.

        Only thing I can say to disagree: I've never stopped requiring memorization of poems in my 30+ yrs of uni teaching....& enacting plays too.

        Americans would do better to spend less time memorising and more time learning about the world beyond the United States.
