"Critical thinking is the analysis of facts to form a judgment.

The subject is complex, and several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, sceptical, unbiased analysis, or evaluation of factual evidence.

Critical thinking is self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking.

It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use.

It entails effective communication and problem-solving abilities as well as a commitment to overcome native egocentrism and sociocentrism."

Surely it would be a very good idea for critical thinking to be introduced in to the school curriculum.
Even better if the teaching of Socrates had been included in the school curriculum from the very beginning of public school systems.

Not a snowballs chance in hell of this ever taking place.

Management of the perception is the key for the current world we live in.

Critical thinking and an understanding of what is really taking place beyond the official narratives is the only way forward for those who are able to plot their own journey

Just make sure you impress this on your children and grandchildren as it is they who will need the guidance as the net closes in on us all.

The principles of critical thinking are commonly utilised at University level education, not a huge leap to imagine that it could be pushed down to secondary schools.

Isn't it already?
As far as I know Critical Thinking is a separate subject in Advanced Levels. Maybe a different matter that nobody opts for it?

Yes it is available at A Level detraveller

I doubt we would see the teaching of Socrates as I believe he was gay

He could never be beaten in an argument, we need him on here, but in the end he was executed

Must go down as one of the most laughable posts in Betfair's history. This is a person who refuses to even contemplate critical thinking. His stance is if it's MSN then it must be wrong if it's from some Youtube nutter then it's must be correct. Now that is not critical thinking.

Cue long-winded waffle in response.
