Why the Bibliography Matters
An educated person is someone who has learned how
to acquire, analyze, synthesize, evaluate,
understand, and communicate knowledge and
information. An educated person has to develop
skills that respond to changing professional
requirements and new challenges in society and
the world at large. He or she must be able to
take skills previously gained from serious study
of one set of problems and apply them to another.
He or she must be able to locate, understand,
interpret, evaluate, and use information in an
appropriate way and ultimately communicate his or
her synthesis and understanding of that
information in a clear and accurate
manner. Linda Mikels, principal of Sixth Street
Prep School, a charter elementary school in
