Kids no longer need facts as they can now 'look them up on smartphones'
Children should no longer be expected to learn facts in the classroom as they can now rely on smartphones as a "substantial" knowledge bank, it has been recently claimed.
According to teachers, lessons should put a greater emphasis on broad skills such as independent research, interpreting evidence and critical thinking rather than learning dates, facts and figures by rote.
