Like Tish, I agree that critical thinking is an integral part of learning and needs to be appropriately included in the classroom curriculum. Looking at both sides of every story almost forces you to make a judgement or decision about who is right about what. If only one perspective is presented, one might just accept it for truth and not look into what it actually means. Discussions or debates can be used in the classroom to help students form their own opinions. If possible, wouldn't it be great if they could then go out in the community and see how it works or doesn't work?
