What are kids practising when answers arrive instantly?

As a university professor and a father, I think about the same question in the classroom and at home: what are children practising when the answer arrives instantly?

They need chances to make a judgment before seeing a polished solution, explain their reasoning, and reconsider it when the evidence changes. That practice builds more than confidence with a tool. It builds intellectual independence.

Education's task is to help young people stay curious and responsible when an answer is effortless.
