What is your Opinion on Having Required Classes in Logic in Schools?

[Pyrrho]

I think highschool would be the best time, though. Teenagers becoming their own people, and looking forward to being independents, should flock to a class about critical thinking. If anything is going to help someone be an adult, it's teaching them how to think for themselves, though authoritative parents won't like it.

(emphasis is mine)

I have to disagree with this. By high school the herd mentality has fully kicked in. The jocks, thugs, geeks, etc... have already fallen out into their own little cliques. High school students are the least amenable to individual, critical thought even though it may help them then more than at any other age. The christers do get one thing right with their thinking that if you teach them young, they'll believe for life. Logic and critical thinking are things that should be taught at every level of schooling, and indeed, by the parents before school even starts.

I agree completely.  Critical thinking should be taught starting at the earliest levels of schooling.
