Hello All,
I'm doing a research paper on how and why critical thinking should be taught in schools. I would like to know if any of you teachers out here would like to be and interviewee for my project. It wouldn't take too much time, and correspondence would be by e-mail, as that is easiest.

Not to be too cynical, but... no, wait, I am being extremely cynical. What makes you think critical thinking is taught in schools now? I'd say that's a gross exaggeration of the rote thinking processes they instill in young minds now. If anything, you're looking for the exceptions to the rule for your project.

Well, yes, I am looking for exceptions to the rule. the entire point of my paper is that critcal thinking is not being taught except by a few teachers who do so of their own accord.

And thanks to all who replied by PM, but I have an interviewee.
