Information Literacy and Schools

Take a look at "Educational practices and information literacy : where's the synergy?" in the latest Library & Information Update (Oct.2008). Are teaching practices which filter out flawed material on the web overprotecting children and preventing them from developing the skills they need to develop if they are to become information literate? What can be done about the low profile of IL in teacher training?
Remember the CIBER report said that HE students got into bad searching habits in schools and, by implication, this ought to be addressed.
