[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 55398, member: 126"] Re: critical thought Critical thinking should be taught in kindergarten, and perhaps it was accomplished by those old sleazy toy ads. I've heard funny stories about modern text books and critical thinking by some of today's young students, from a neighbor's son who is a retired geography teacher, and his kid still in school. Some students appear more critical than many of their teachers. I don't want to start a new conspiracy rant, so I won't but some funny business about the "truth". In one discussion about the outcome of the war of 1812, one student questioned if the text book was written by the British. :-) JR Phil: Was there a joke about majoring in Philosophy in there that I missed? Or is the joke that people expect to find a high paying job in that field? :-). We all inadvertently learn philosophy, while it's better IMO to study it consciously, than have it spoon fed to us.
