What do schools need Google for anyway? Had education deteriorated this much already?
Google is a pretty essential part of any assignment where independent research is a component.
Images for a slideshow, citations for an essay, research for a project?
Yes, when I was a student I never touched Google and don't understand why anyone would need it. /s
It's true, I used AltaVista and Yahoo! search because Google didn't exist yet.
