When fretting about all the…stuff…that marketers — and others with a vested interest and access to media outlets — direct toward the young, consider that children and adolescents are far from passive consumers of information. In self-defense, they’ve have to learn to sort through the barrage of…stuff…directed at them on a continual basis from they time they became sentient. A study published last year by two Yale University researchers found that “cynicism starts young.” According to one of the researchers, in interview with ABC news, this is not necessarily a bad thing, “particularly in U.S. society where children can be inundated with all kinds of information from television, friends and movies.”

And, of course, the Internet.

Oh, by the way, I am a librarian and we appreciate the fact that you include our profession in your short list of “heroes of democracy.” We try our best.

More heartening, though, is the emergence of the the multi-modal, or hybrid class. Part of the time it’s in physical space, and part of the time it’s in cyber space. All of the time, the students are engaged with each other with the “home” in homework now extending beyond the isolation of an individual student’s house or apartment walls. Kudos to the clueful teachers. (I tend to do this with the grad students I teach and they all report that they feel as if they never leave the class, or perhaps it’s that the class never leaves them. This is the effect I want; some of the students would prefer not to attend Hotel California U – “you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave.”)
