Oh noes!I don't get why so many teachers and such are so against Wikipedia. I mean, sure, it's wrong sometimes but hey, where else is there an amount of information so vast and updated?

well that is dumb, during my senior year in english the teacher told me i could use any info from wiki and i told her to give a good strong reason why and she tired but in the end i told i was going to use whatever i want and if she had a problem to take it up with my mom.
I think also could other teachers tired to do that also but the whole class them in a nice why to go well you know.

I think many people are afraid of Technology and the future. It's not as inaccurate as you might think, and if you find something wrong... then fix it!
Why can't kids have factual errors on their projects? Just take a mark off for false information, don't ban the whole freak'n wikipedia website.
Another reason why I hate school and whole system.

Thats total bs, so long as you have the original page there isn't anything wrong with it, its a pool of, mainly, good and accurate informations from probably millions of sites, some articles have over 24 cited sources, for one person to find that would take many many hours. Its a revolution in information retrieval and sharing, people shun it because their afraid
