Critical thinking skills cannot be built on a sand foundation
where successful approximation at correct spelling is a satisfactory result
and math problems become an exercise in breaking down the formula
so it can be solved on the fingers
rather than knowing math FACTS
while applying the correct order of operations.
Critical thinking allows you to use established facts
to make sense of the world around you,
not to create some alternate universe of unicorns pooping rainbow skittles across the sky.

Yeah, that first sentence was a doozy but I just couldn’t stop myself. Good breakdown, no forgiveness required! Have a great FReepin’ day!!
