They’ve grown up online. So why are our kids not better at detecting misinformation?::Recent studies have shown teens are more susceptible than adults. It’s a problem researchers, teachers and parents are only beginning to understand.

Curious: What is the root cause of students/less intelligent people like this? Poor upbringing? Genetics? Effort? Somewhere down the line there’s a cause.

There’s no motivation to do the work. Students that work hard get a diploma. Students that don’t do anything…still get a diploma.

We have students who can barely read and can’t do basic math, but they still get a diploma. Why do work for the same result?
