I am trying to learn more about changing trends in American education regarding Logic courses. Here is a quote from the following article:
Why critical thinking is overlooked by schools and shunned by students
"By contrast, critical thinking as a subject has been around in schools for many years. It was brought in as a replacement to the brilliantly terrible general studies in the hope that students might get something specific and useful, rather than well, general."
Does anyone have any idea what "many years" is and what the author means by replacing "general studies" with critical thinking?
