What is funny is that I had a conversation about this very topic a couple of weeks ago with an English teacher and her English 2 honors students. The teacher told them not to use it and that it was a bad source. She then asked me to explain the site – expecting me to back her up. When I said it wasen’t a good or bad site, just one you need to evaluate the information & where it came from, she wasn’t happy. I explained how the articles were edited and about the edit history page. She relented enough to say they could use it as a starting point, but not to rely on the info they found there. What I’m surprised about is that it is no longer blocked by my district!
