Critical thinking should be taught earlier than senior year in high school, for starters. If they teach it in high school, that is. Personally I didn't do any of what I'd call critical thinking until college and I was enrolled in the AP system.

It makes me laugh when people talk about schools only teaching the test to students after No Child Left Behind while these same people also support AP classes. From day one those classes are directly teaching you the test, how it asks questions, how it tries to trick you, how to find answers to something you don't know in other questions, everything about the test they taught you that ****. We would take practice AP tests at least once a week. Standardized tests? They just taught the class, no practice tests, and everyone did fine.

A decade after Lake Worth Middle School shooting: Nathaniel Brazi | www.palmbeachpost.com
that was the one as for teaching the test... we actually had to write essays in PE class to practice for the test. the school took it so seriously and had such a hard time getting people to pass that they literally forced all classes to focus on the test for a week or so. |

Of course, I've never gone to school any other place than here in Norway, but from what I gather, these things aren't all that different elsewhere.

I think it's one issue that can constantly be improved, and in most cases across the world improved drastically.
Kids shouldn't read great works of literature so they can quote dry chunks of analysis, they should read them because they teach them about life. The minute students aren't engaging with the material, something's went wrong. |
