Re: Mind's Eye Re: What could the internet be?

Many schools depend upon regurgitated answers. I was fortunate as many of my classmates were Professors brats we were used for research subjects. They emphised critical thinking. The other kids had standard testing.. At least they knew what to study for and the questions.

A critical thinking education is extremely labor intensive.. We were fortunate a lot of labor was supplied via student teachers learning how to create a learning situation. The side arrest is all of us learned a great deal about educational methods.. None of us ever became teachers.
If your school teaches creative thinking. In the US. Standardized education has become the norm.

Children start using their creative and critical abilities at some point of
time , and Gabby , I think that is the correct thing. I was only refuting
Facil's observation that critical thinking is non-existent.
