The Delta, E42 - M&M Wrappers: Why Did We Skip the Critical Thinking Questions?

Children ask "why" constantly to discover the reasons we have certain rules but also the motivations behind decisions that have been made in the past. And even though public education encourages critical thinking, students celebrate when teachers skip it in the Review Questions at the end of the chapter. 

Why?

Kristina (educational ASL interpreter) and Nicholas (former science teacher & education advocate) discuss how our public education approach to critical thinking has produced an opportunity for companies and candidates to give us ideology without substance. From the retired M&M wrapper and Eminem the rapper to textbooks with bolded definitions and handbooks about dress codes, they answer why they regret skipping the critical thinking questions.
