      How to identify primary vs secondary sources, how to identify bias in sources, how to identify reliable sources based on bias and by cross reference to a variety of other sources, etc etc. Basically a unit in "Thinking Critically About Media"

      We didn't even really HAVE the internet in those days - our teachers were trying to help us avoid the National Enquirer et al - shitty *printed* sources.

      In I think it was 8th grade we did a similar thing on science - spotting flaws in experiment design, trying to spot bad hypotheses, talking about what makes a journal reputable. That was part of doing a science fair project.

      I can't help but think that cutting out units like these in favor of whatever standardized tests are testing is a terrible idea in the age of the internet. Critical thinking about what you read is a critical skill.

      But then given I have friends my age who fall for the "microwaves are dangerous because they hear things by exciting the molecules" bullshit, I think my schools might have been unusual even then.

      Anyway I also think that's probably one reason why my mother married an upper middle class English professor. So I could go to those kinds of schools, and not working class southern schools.

      Teaching first-year uni kids how to think critically here in Ireland is frustrating. They were taught that history was about how many facts you can memorize and regurgitate.

      But I remember that when I was in school, the only person who even got close to teaching me to think critically was my grade 11 social studies teacher. Even then, I never really learned how to assess a primary source until university.

      My social studies teachers grades 9-12 were useless and undoubtedly really wished that my English and science teachers had not had units on critical thinking

      I wish we had that stuff in science. My science teachers were often very wrong on things and refused to let us question them.
