“In a recent book, “Academically Adrift,” sociologists Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa report that 45 percent of college students hadn’t significantly improved their critical thinking and writing skills after two years; “
Learning to think critically hasn’t been taught in years. Just suspended so the progressive claptrap could be forced down students’ throats
The last thing todays colleges want is critical thinking.
They want Socialism ,and kids who think the way their Socialist Professors do.
You can’t teach common sense nor can you teach intellect.
Today, college is only about money. Money from the people attending and money from the government...nothing else.
Our future requires the upper educational resources to teach the technical trades rather than the “heavy thinking and pencil pushing” agendas.
I would guess that about 10% of all college degrees are really necessary and that would be mainly in the engineering and medical disciplines.
I agree. When I returned to college, there is nothing more aggravating in the government required class, than a critically thinking conservative who knows more about the government than the professor. Actually, it might be fun and instructional for the students, if a few conservative adults enrolled as an ‘audit’ of the government 101, 102 classes.
