[quote=Anonymous]This is too many questions for me, but I will mention that Odyssey of the Mind is an amazing after school program for critical thinking. Found in lots of schools and you can always start it if your school doesn't have it. Ours was parent sponsored, not run by any teachers. It really challenged my son to think creatively, have original ideas and be a problem solver, skills that weren't being taught in elementary school. In middle school there was a deliberate shift to critical thinking, which is typically a really hard adjustment. They get so good at memorizing and learning facts, and it takes a while for them to realize they're being asked for something different. [/quote]
