Unlocking Smarter Thinking in High School!

Ever wonder why we don't teach inductive & deductive reasoning in high school? 😅 I do—ALL the time! As a 12th grade English teacher (with a lil' philosophy background), I've seen firsthand how much stronger my thinking got after learning these skills. 🙈 Here's what I've noticed: • My students struggle to break down arguments. • They get lost finding claims & evidence. • They don't really "get" how knowledge is built. I truly believe if we taught reasoning skills—like syllogisms—even for just a unit, their argument game would LEVEL UP. ❤️ So why aren't we doing this? Is there a reason we're skipping something so fundamental? Would love to hear your thoughts! #CriticalThinking #HighSchool #EducationMatters #Education
