Reading Directions

A point was made in this lesson that rang really true with my experience teaching automotive technology. Gen Y learners don't read manuals! I'm technically a Generation Y'er myself but I cannot for the life of me understand others my own age not reading instructions. When it comes to making adjustments or repairs I must constantly remind students to follow the directions manufacturers provide. Most of my students prefer to learn from trial and error. Unfortunately in this field that will most certainly result in damage to vehicles or yourself! I believe teaching students to read directions may be one of the most important "skills" I have to teach.
