Grade 7 exams.

Grade 9 exams.

Grade 12 exams.

In Grade 7, we took two tests — Special Paper 1 and 2 — that checked our critical thinking and reasoning skills. When I moved to the U.S., I was amazed that Critical Thinking wasn’t formally taught for most until college...

Our times call for Critical Thinkers — people who refuse to hide behind the emotion of an experience, and judge it with BOTH a clear mind and a clear heart. Sadly, it’s quite clear that crucial critical thinking and reasoning skills are lacking right now...

Critical thinking doesn’t mean we don’t feel our emotions. Critical thinking means we don’t allow our emotions to blur our vision, poison the well of wisdom, or excuse us of all common sense. We can’t have what my friends at LeaderShape call “a more just, caring, and thriving world” without critical thinking. We can’t reach Kozhi Makai Worldwide’s mission of “using behavioral science to help people thrive” without critical thinking...

RUN from anything and anyone that seeks to simply “entertain” or “educate” you. Seek, instead, people, places, and things that’ll TRANSFORM you! Transformative experiences come from critical thought.
