Promoting critical thinking in public, private, and higher educational institutions should always be the number one effort and goal: critical meaning most important.

Critical thinking is science at work, not hasty indictment with cynical smirk. Start by collecting data and facts, then analyze, synthesize, hypothesize that. At final judgement to general position, evaluate sides for the best supposition. Apply reason when testing Check facts to the letter Challenge your choices From good to much better.

Excellent! the rhyming is well executed and the message spot-on. Critical thinking is not encouraged in education anymore. Your structural shift in the last stanza actually helps emphasize the point! Good job on this!

nice verse on a subject of importance, as we live in a world where the mind has become nothing more than an orator to defend the emotional frailties of our human condition without fact, rather a need to defend our fear of not understanding truth from fiction
