Yep,its crazy!
Its just an opinion of mine, but I think "logic & reasoning" should be taught in schools....then again, it would never happen in the publik skools, people would get too smart!! ;-)

How about "critical thinking skills"?
From B.K. Beyer (1987) Practical strategies for the teaching of thinking:
View of a Critical Thinker
Separates relevant from irrelevant information.
Spots inconsistencies in a line reasoning.
Identifies and challenges assumptions.
Separates verifiable facts from value claims.
Identifies doubtful or unclear claims and arguments.
