Very true.

My 14 year old niece does her state capital homework using Google.

The other day, I talked her into taking Spanish as an elective. Well, she’s so smart, she went on Google translator and asked me for different words.

“Cat”, I’d yell from the other room. She’d come back with-”cat!” “Mother”-she’d come back with mother etc.
After about ten words, I stroll into my office, and discovered she was clicking on the wrong ‘Listen’ button.
How could she think that all 10 words would be said the same way albeit a little strange due to lady computer voice-but really-talk about no common sense and lack of skills!

“Just Google it” is all she knows! And the teachers encourage it she tells me. The classes she can’t really Google/fake, she’s got 70’s in-it’s so frustrating to watch her fail in slow motion...

This is really said, but it shows how lazy teachers are

Can’t stand google. Much prefer dogpile. Google brings up too much.
