When I retired, we were teaching fifth graders strategies in research and the procedure for documentation, including reference to internet passages.
It was like pulling teeth to even get the students for realize that a good paper is the end result of MULTIPLE drafts.
I don't think you can lay the blame on teachers, librarian, or the educational field. We may have a small portion of the blame. But in this area I think it really has to do with ethics and environmental learning. Where does the students learn this...at home. And either the parents are not modeling the correct behavior or they are not monitoring.
I can only do so much as a teacher if I see the students for Language Arts, 2 hours a day for 9 months. There has to be a consistency throughout the child's development. That can only be obtained through the parents.
