[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 9640566, member: 6915329"] 'Cept here's the problem: They're not taught how to research in schools because they have crappy teachers, or good teachers with crappy funding, or decent schools with crappy parents who don't want their children to be taught certain things (yes, this includes learning research skills), or good teachers with a number of crappy students who take their attention away from the students who want to learn, or good teachers, good schools, and good students but with crappy parents who can't be bothered to help the child learn, or even any of the above plus learning or developmental disabilities that may or may not get diagnosed and treated. (I'm lucky in that I had parents who taught me how to think critically and how to research. I'm also lucky in that while both of my parents had jobs, they could do those jobs from home most of the time, so they had [I]time [/I]to teach me.) [I][/I] And that's without understanding that, quite frankly, things like tariffs are not actually important for most people 99% of the time. I was a supervisor in a day program for adults with developmental disabilities. The cost of trade goods meant less than nothing for that type of job, not when the most math involved in that job was trying to get people to realize they couldn't buy a 50 cent bag of chips for a nickel, and when I'm actually spending most of their time keeping people larger than me (and I'm 5'10") from going berserk and attacking frail people in wheelchairs.
