Every.year.I.try to implement into my elementary classroom critical thinking using what I know from the guides and my efforts. Thank you for 40+ years effort. 👏
I loved reading your book and i am very proud of being a critical thinker. I felt like it changed my whole being like my perspective and concept over all things.
It took me a good six months to learn the vocabulary and apply the model of critical thinking before I could speak to it to a degree of proficiency. That's really not that long, but during that time I put a lot of time into reading your whole pamphlet series. Of course I started with the book. I am still extremely interested in critical thinking.
I am so glad to hear her say we are not advancing freedom of speech and intellectual inquiry. On my PhD I was constantly attacked for asking my professors and fellow students questions rather than recite the orthodox catechism. This perverse catechism is an awkward marriage of economic neoliberalism and social neomarxism.
Good explanation and presentation it's so unfortunate that our social fabric is based on so little when we should be ready to excel into a future unimaginable and well beyond any rendering presented.
Linda is too gracious. I'm not certain that mainstream education wants critical thinking students, because government and business don't want future critical thinking voters and workers / consumers. Critical thinkers are more difficult to manage, rule over, deceive, and propagandize.
@@ms2506 isn't these consequences (indecision, rumination) symptoms of a poor use of critical thinking? The point of reasoning is to make reasonably wiser choices in order to act into the world.
@@lucrativeleadershipconvers5149 The consequences you mention are an indication of a purpose that is not well understood or well committed to. Now you know what area to get clear on, which facilitates moving forward, instead of retarding it.
I doubt anyone high up is thinking "What will happen 15 years from now when these critical thinkers have finished their education". They all think about profits next quarter as far as I can see.
American schools (and universities) won't even teach students how to study anymore. Long ago when I was in school looking for something more than the idiot advice so common, I thought maybe no one knew how to get information read or heard in to your knowledge. But then 10 years ago or so, I came across books from the early 1900s that laid it all out. I had figured out most as I was a "good student", but why have kids reinvent the wheel rather than teach them? A well regarded and cited book until the 1920s was How to Study and Teaching How to Study (1909) by F. M. McMurry I certainly wish I had had access to this in my school years, instead the education experts were still saying "nobody knows". BTW, McMurry advocates constant teaching of the 8 factors starting around 3rd grade when kids move into needing to process texts and lectures.

Those Thinker Guides give me HOPE and life in my teaching. Even though it is challenging to bring them into the broken system.
I laughed out loud at 6:00 I love that request. I wished we would value critical thinking as much as athletics.
Thank you for posting! We need this stuff now more than EVER!
I taught three intellectual standards to my third graders today. And I am trying to weave them throughout the day. Throughout the content.

It's like reading, writing, arithmetics: It can't be learned in a single day!

You are certain & you are right!

Is not taught or accepted in society and companies!
