Also? Wouldn't it be nice if we could all agree on one style?
That would be lovely. And I would like it to be Chicago style, because footnotes > everything. (What the hell is your history department doing teaching them APA? Isn't that for natural sciences?) I don't think we had to cite things in our history papers in high school...the only style I ever remember learning was MLA in senior year of English, anyway.
I recall doing annotated bibliographies starting my junior year of college. High school is definitely too soon. I wouldn't even assign my freshmen an AB right now...
