Critical thinking education lacking in colleges

A study of a large number of college students in the United States shows that many students leave college with no critical thinking skills.

Steven D., the author of the article, believes that this statistic reflects poorly not only on the college system in the U.S., but also on the primary education system.

“By the time our kids get to college it is too late to change habits [or] learn new skills that should have been taught to them in grade k-12 in my opinion. This study does not merely condemn colleges, it throws a harsh light on our primary education system on this country.”
