I do not think kids need to be taught critical thinking the way we are learning it in this course. Kids need to be kids. There is a natural development of infants-toddlers-children- preteen - teens - young adults - adults. Trying to influence the development of children to be mature and knowledgable before they are ready doesn't help them nor society.
Critical thinking skills being taught to adults is nice, because it lays out th theory for our experience in a way that helps us come to terms with ourselves and others. IF we had anything to come to terms with.
This subject is interesting so far. I still know nothing to contribute anything of substance to this conversation. I just know that I don't know enough to start making suggestions to change things.
