The fundamental question is posed about how educational institutions can be using methods which do not seem to use the pattern of critical thinking for intellectual development and education.
Surely experience brings somewhere, but to that witness it is as if the pars construens, after information and some emotional reactions - the intellectual frameworks - are completely undeveloped.
