Stupid. Kids are more informed and hooked into current events than ever before, specifically because of phones and the Internet. Hell, half of most peoples' jobs are looking up reference material online. You want kids to succeed, hand them a big list of the best places to look for the answers and let them use their phones on the test.
Even though it's easier to find information than like 30 years before, kids nowadays do NOT look for news or some other "sensible" information. They watch stupid TikTok videos and things like that (yes yes, there's always some exceptions). Smartphones has become a big problem in schools. You would know that if you followed the news.
