Students Have 'Dismaying' Inability To Tell Fake News From Real
 
 
 
The researchers at Stanford's Graduate School of Education have spent more than a year evaluating how well students across the country can evaluate online sources of information.
 
Middle school, high school and college students in 12 states were asked to evaluate the information presented in tweets, comments and articles. More than 7,800 student responses were collected.
 
In exercise after exercise, the researchers were "shocked" — their word, not ours — by how many students failed to effectively evaluate the credibility of that information.
 
The students displayed a "stunning and dismaying consistency" in their responses, the researchers wrote, getting duped again and again. They weren't looking for high-level analysis of data but just a "reasonable bar" of, for instance, telling fake accounts from real ones, activist groups from neutral sources and ads from articles.

A video prior to the election was very interesting.  A guy stopped people on the street and gave a quote from a candidate, but said the other candidate said it. It was amazing at how many people agreed with the quote just because they were told their favored candidate said it.  The also disliked quotes that they were told came from the candidate they did not like.It just goes to show how little people really knew about the candidates and their platforms.This is not the video that I refereed to but it's similar:

A lot of truth to the idea that Kennedy was really elected based on his appearance more than anything else 4951

@donnatella:  I think @BooBear gave him more "locker room" talk than I did!  I love her honest, straight-forward, been-there-done-that, advice!  My discussion with your son was more about Engineering, college, and jobs.
