<DIV>I just finished reading through the critical thinking discussion. I'd
like to share a thought before it closes on Monday. Unless I read too
quickly and missed it, I don't think there was any discussion of critical
thinking in math. I believe that one reason that our educational
system does not produce people with better math skills is the lack of focus on
critical thinking in math as opposed to simply mastering operations or learning
formulas.</DIV>
