The last thing todays colleges want is critical thinking.

They want Socialism ,and kids who think the way their Socialist Professors do.

Beware, “critical thinking” is now being (mis)used by Big Ed to mean “rejecting what you’ve been taught by your parents”.

It’s one of several Ed-Newspeak terms - along with...

Mastery Learning
Outcome-Based Education
Back-To-Basics
Lifelong Learning
Higher-Order Skills

“They want Socialism ,and kids who think the way their Socialist Professors do.”

First & foremost, they want customers to buy a product that is falling in value as the jobs go overseas anyway. Any job that can command a decent salary is already being re-worked so that you can either send it to Asia or bring Asians here to do it.

College today is for suckers, unless you really know why you are going.
