That is an interesting point. Most people are not taught to think for themselves - they are taught what to think. If you teach your children to think, they can figure out the world without much formal education. It is an important tool.Wasn't placing blame or fault (and there is plenty of that to go around), just stating my view of the way things are. A large part of it stems from the fact that they aren't taught to THINK. just do - no matter whether it's their peers, family or teachers doing the teaching (or not doing it, in this case).
