I would not say that the majority are taught to shoot the long three. I would say the kids prefer to shoot the long three because it is cool. Sort of like kids doing reverse layups or attempting dunks as opposed going straight in and laying it up of the glass. Now whether they have developed the range to shoot from 21 feet at the age of 10-11 is a different story.
