Every other science is or at least should be the application of the science of Logic to observations in a particular field of knowledge. Hence the study of Logic is foundational to the study of every other subject. The formal study of Logic should therefore be considered a foundational and indispensable part of every educational curriculum. But alas, it is thoroughly dispensed with in modern curricula. Nebulous social skills are considered more important than precise thinking skills.
Feeling is more important than discernment.
Where thinking is taught, it is programmed thinking, not critical thinking. The child is taught to think with the herd and run with the herd. He is programmed not to question certain concepts precisely because they are unprovable. With such training, the child becomes logically dysfunctional. He has not truly learned to think for himself.
