Educational use of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is allowed as valid references in High schools BUT, not in Colleges.
What are your thoughts on the education side of Wikipedias use as an acceptable reference in High schools but not in Colleges? I use Wikipedia for quick answers or as a "cliff note" type of information to help guide me to different thought process. I find that in more cases than not, the information to be very informative and useful in my research. However, because I was unable to use Wikipedia in college I did not open or read any fact related in any form that referenced Wikipedia; to have done so would have cost me my education. Understanding that we can change the content of any page disproves its validity, therefore making it unreliable in the eyes of many Colleges but not in many of our high schools. Are our high schools teaching our children to make poor choices for recerences or are our colleges using poor judgment in our ability to use a source, determine if the source is credible; (properly citing and reference all sources) being "stifled" from being able to our own choices and be graded on our outcome?
