One thing I really wish they would require kids to lean, here is the USA is critical logical thinking. I guess they figure it is the parents job to teach children how to reason and use logical, cause and affect thinking.. It seems that many of the "Adults" age 20 - 45 have no clue how to reason/think through an decision to come to a logical conclusion of what the best result would be. Or, if they do, they stop after the first if/then and skip the rest where they find out if they do it, it will end badly..
I really have no idea why this is not required learning.
