What's In A Name?

[Criticalthinker]

Critical thinking and the pursuit thereof is the focus of many, many teacher's meetings at the school where I teach. It is our goal along with "authentic assessment". Both are excellent goals in my opinion, despite the fact that I grow amused and weary at times from of the constant usage of current education lingo.

I got to thinking, (critically, of course) and realized that I had basically been raised to think this way by my family of origns, and that because of it, I often was able to see to the bottom of many situations quickly, as well as view options.

I would venture that most of us taking this testing route are awesome critial thinkers!

In layperson's terms, critical thinking might just mean common sense too...hilarious
