Funny that you mention Critical Thinking.
...Steve, <br />Funny that you mention Critical Thinking.<br />My last dozen or so years in business I noticed that the kids that were entering the work force had no idea of how to put common sense thinking together in a logical rational form. We had rudimentary tests to see what they knew and didn't know. A extremely large percentage of them first of all had no idea of spelling skills, sentence structure and could not work out simple "if you had this and added this with this but couldn't find this what results could you end up with test". I also think that people coming our of the arts are diminishing for exactly the same reason.....Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-30278030542380394682011-09-05T14:27:19.672-05:002011-09-05T14:27:19.672-05:00I have read several studies that the learning proc...I have read several studies that the learning processes of the minds of young Americans have been hardwired in a way far different than our generation. Part of that is due to computer usage. Part due to teaching methods in public schools. They are far more data-oriented rather than critical-thinking-oriented. I have no way to know if that is true. But it certainly seems to be so from my limited conversations with young Americans. A failure to understand the economy of America is the most disturbing to me. But even the president seems to suffer that disability.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-92169306226390686492011-09-05T12:45:22.765-05:002011-09-05T12:45:22.765-05:00M.B.

Hopefully those people learn enough English to talk to the Police and Firemen. <br />Jerry, War of the Worlds was indeed a great production I believe it was Orson Wells that was the mastermind behind that.<br />Calypso,<br />I have a whole bunch of old radio programs on CD's that we listen to on our drive from NOB to SOB, much better than static or even sat radio. And kids will never know the enjoyment of those programs.Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-1438416406720254342011-09-05T11:29:28.578-05:002011-09-05T11:29:28.578-05:00We still like to listen to those old radio dramas....We still like to listen to those old radio dramas.

I happen to find a old tape of a radio show that I had taped in the early 60's. The tape was so captivating that I couldn't push the stop and wound up listening to it for over 2 hours.<br />It was a local production of War of the Worlds which I had taped in 1962, a remake of the old Mercury Theater broadcast that caused havoc throughout the country.<br />It was a reel to reel tape, anyone remember those?JerryLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-1778930844665487622011-09-04T16:38:40.457-05:002011-09-04T16:38:40.457-05:00Come down to San Jose, Ca.

Growing up we had Italian stores and shops but the signs were in English, my parents would speak Italian at home but never out in Public. They always said it wasn't polite to do so.<br />M.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-91774309604744019482011-09-04T14:17:54.205-05:002011-09-04T14:17:54.205-05:00Yes we are, one retirement party to go to today, o...Yes we are, one retirement party to go to today, one last wedding next Saturday and we are coming back, none too soon. It's a madhouse up here!<br />Yes those statistics are not uncommon in other parts of the world, it appears that whities are not longer producing the 2 or 3 kids world wide as was a norm years ago, therefore the minorities will no longer be so and the whites will. It is already calculated that most of the Western society will have a dynamic shift in less than 50 years. What is interesting is that like Chapala, where signs are in English, there are whole neighborhoods up here that the signs are in Spanish.<br /> Any change is a good thing, right? Just ask Washington...Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-73308286463141507782011-09-04T14:11:15.143-05:002011-09-04T14:11:15.143-05:00Remember how engaging Roosevelt could be?
