Well I want to go back to school. Not just because it was great fun, and I loved it, but now because they have introduced my dream subject to the curriculum. Children now have what is known as a critical thinking class. They tested it here at one school and now it's going across England. It teaches children how to debate, how to argue. How to spot manipulation of the media, how to spot flaws in arguments. How politicians use arguments to their advantage. It is all very clever, and something that completely fascinates me. They did cover this slightly when I was at college doing media, and even then it got me. Maybe it's because I enjoy a good argument, it sharpens my skills. Especially when I argue a point I don't actually agree with, it's fun to see if you can convince people of something you don't actually agree with yourself.
Am I really geeky for getting into this? Don't answer that, I don't want to know! I just think it's good for kids to do. They do it alongside more traditional subjects, such as law. It's good for them to get a grasp of words. Words are very powerful, and when used correctly, can be very persuasive. I wonder if they will let me join these classes! Hehe, I'm getting all excited! All I have to do is find a school uniform from somewhere, and I'm sorted. I'm still small enough to pass for school age, though having said that, my boobs tell another story. Anywho, I think it's a really good idea, something that will interest students, and something they can see will help them in the real world, rather than all theory work.
