The word ‘encyclopedia’ was a spelling word for my middle schoolers the other day.
I asked if anybody knew what it meant.
After all, who uses an encyclopedia anymore?
Today we’ve got Google.
One kid knew what it was.
He has a set in his house.
Just that morning he used it to research information for his history class.
I was shocked that a 21st-century kid would know about encyclopedias.
He assured me that he only used it because his mom made him.
His preference would have been the internet.
It just goes to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Kids today still know how to use an encyclopedia.
And moms are still making kids do the right thing.
