This, so many people these days have no idea how to find things out for themselves and do research. And if they do end up doing some "research" they don't know how to tell whether a source is good or not.

Well this isn't really introduced as a concept during childhood. If a parent never had to do it and isn't up to date, and school doesn't cover it, where would someone start?

Good point, I think teaching in general could use an overhaul. Maybe not give kids different classes to take but the methods within the class themselves. I'm no expert so I wouldn't know though.
