Actually, yes, I do. Teachers teach documents—usually primary sources if possible. If a teacher was telling me a bunch of stuff that they couldn’t show me any evidence of, I would be a little suspicious.

Did you ask for article or source?

Yes. Usually with the phrase “where can I learn more about this?” or “what kind of evidence do they have for that?” I remember doing exactly that in my 5th grade history class and had fun reading the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin when the teacher directed me there for a primary source where I could learn more. They seemed excited that a student was engaging critical thinking and seeking additional learning. If you’re comparing yourself to a teacher, maybe you could find it in yourself to see it the same way.
So, I ask you…what kind of evidence do you have for your assertions, and where can I learn more about those events you say happened?

Side step our discussion and not hating on you. What or why do you think critical thinking is not rewarded in grade school or high school like it is in college and Universities?

I have not had that experience.
Now, back to what we were talking about: do you have any evidence for the things you were saying earlier?
