Sure, class members can memorize facts but too often the critical thinking required to analyze cause and effect — say, how a specific river encouraged ancient trade — eludes them unless the teacher spells it out, telling them the “right” answer. Students prepare by closely reading/researching the text or topic.

I, along with many others, have been impressed with how articulate the Parkland students have been regarding their school shooting and gun laws. When students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High debated gun control in class last November, they never imagined they were preparing to lead a national discussion on how to prevent school shootings.
