People here do believe in loads of dumb shit though. Ghosts, crystals, spiritualism, psychics, and so on. I wish critical thinking was taught in schools. I'm not generally chastised for disbelief in these things, though.
Students are taught critical thinking skills. At least, that's the case in Scandinavia in my experience.
In literature, for example, students are taught not just explaining the literature they've read, but also to criticize sources and to interpret it. Critical thinking skills are sort of acquired by osmosis by this way. In mathematics, students are taught not just the various formulas, but even their proofs and how they are derived.
That's true, we were taught them a bit. I am wondering if a formal class on it could help. I mean, I'm a total anal logic-obsessed nerdy freakazoid, and even I realized my critical thinking was not totally up to scratch until I looked into it formally. I had to go back and correct some fallacious thinking I realized I was having.
