Reading books worked fine for a few thousand years.

If I used books for answers at work I'd be without a job pretty quick. It's a slow antiquated technique. I don't think kids need to look up answers on cell phones at school, but it would be smart to educate students how to use tools/resources that they will need and use in their daily lives.

The number of books that these students will reference in the their future careers in minimal. The number of phones/computer based systems is high.

If you are just teaching kids to regurgitate text from a textbook at this point they will forever be behind any LLM that exists. They need to learn to use information, quickly, and how to source it from reliable sources.
