Only if they want the majority of their "facts" to be thinly veiled opinions.

No. While they may learn some interesting things on Yahoo answers. Sitting on line all day will not give them the necessary social skills that school provides. You need human contact.

Dear asker,personally I don't think that kids could learn all day better at yahoo answers than school.Because at school,you learn all kinds of staff like science,history..etc.You can also learn these at yahoo answers.But there are things that you could not find at yahoo answers.For example,Social education,how to get along with people,how to respect elders and all that kind of staff.So I think that it is better to go to school in order to learn and at your free time,go to yahoo answers and learn additional things.

The could learn a lot but would it be correct? Most questions end up with several different answers, some that contradict each other. Hard to tell which one is right.

Judging by the politics section as well as religion and spirituality section one could argue that the dumbest 5% of the country inhabit yahoo answers. I would take school over this easily.

After being on all day for one day they might learn more than a single day in school, but in the long-run they will lose the novelty and won't get as much from YA as school

No.
School has a more structured learning.
Take math - it goes from addition/subtraction to multiplication/division to algrebra, etc.
On yahoo answers, if you go to the math section. the questions jump randomly from basic math to calculus. So unless the kids have the basics, they would no idea about the questions.

No. This forum is mostly based on opinion. And often a person's opinion could be misinterpreted as fact... and that can be a very dangerous thing. Go over to the R & S category and see for yourself.

One thing is for sure. They aren't going to learn proper grammar on Yahoo.

I would say no, but some schools don't teach much of anything. Yahoo answers really wouldn't teach kids much of anything either.
