Indeed. Trust but verify. :)

Of course they do. But so do students, and the politicians and bureaucrats
who consider themselves qualified to do most of the agenda (and curriculum)
setting in UK education. :-/ 

I'm not a teacher (though I'm married to one), but I've had lots of
opportunity to observe ICT teaching here: uncritical copy and paste from the
internet has had a serious impact on pupil performance for the past several
years. I'm not sure it's quite the absolute showstopper that the article
implies, but it's certainly a problem.
