Logic and critical thinking resources
Critical thinking is not a priority in today's public education. The push has been to groom a citizenry of believers in big government rather than personal responsibility. And it's easier to bamboozle people who've never been nurtured in the art of logic.

With these skills, you will be better equipped to explain your positions and keep conversations on target:

I'm beginning my homeschooling journey and have already bought a lot of books. I got a series of books before I really looked into recommendations and am curious if anyone has used them or has an opinion about them ? "Building Thinking Skills by Howard Black & Sandra Parks"
Thanks !
