A Confession

I have led students in History Day projects for three years.  Every year as students take notes, I tell them to PUT THE PAGE NUMBERS of quotes and facts on their notecards so they can cite them in their projects.  Every year a bunch of kids forget, then have to dig back into their sources for the citations. They weep and wail and I bang my head against the wall.  So here I've happily been taking notes all week, only to look back and realize I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO CITE THE PAGE NUMBERS.  I guess it's harder than it looks.
