teaching them what to think."
"Many 17-year-olds do not possess the 'higher-order'
intellectual skills we should expect of them. Nearly 40 percent
cannot draw inferences from written material; only one-fifth can
write a persuasive essay; and only one-third can solve a

Critical thinking can be described as the scientific method
applied by ordinary people to the ordinary world.
Critical thinking is a learned ability that must be taught. Most
individuals never learn it. Critical thinking cannot be taught
