“Much of education today focuses on obedience skills rather than critical thinking skills.”
“Critical thinking is a necessary and vital skill".~R. Alan Woods [2012]”
“If there was one life skill everyone on the planet needed, it was the ability to think with critical objectivity”
“Like many highly educated people, I didn't have much in the way of actual skills.”
“Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.”
“Teachers don't just teach; they can be vital personalities who help young people to mature, to understand the world, and to understand themselves. A good education consists of much more than useful facts and marketable skills.”
