Should reasoning skills be taught in primary schools?

 wanting to become a Teacher I think it would help the kids really think about there actions. Critical  thinking will help you in the older grades. In the middle and high schools are harder and they require more thinking skills. Like Reading, English and Math these classes can be abstract and make you think more. 


Why I think Critical thinking is good in the primary schools. This will help them in the older grade and college as they start young. How I would start off on critical thinking the material should be simple so they can understand. The way to be effective is putting the students in Groups also having the teacher " have a small lecture of class for 15-20 mins." This will help them bounce ideas off each other to think hard. Also having the students listen to each other this age would be great .  Critical thinking can help in life because that in jobs you must make up plains and think on your feet. They are going to more reading with critical thinking skill in the younger grades then being in the older grades. relate the topic to what the kids are interesting  and make it fun. 


Why people say that critical thinking for young children can be bad. When young children watch T.V. they will  think less and more act on the actions seen on T.V. This can lead to Violence  because they are not thinking what harm these actions can do. One of many major factors not having critical thinking is they can be left behind.  Not having a basic understanding would lead to the students being left behind. In Arizona there are levels of assessments and how they grade Critical Thinking. This rubric is for grades 4th-6th. In the lower grades if they do not know  it will be hard. Without the basic reasoning kids can grow up. Having  act out not  knowing what it right and wrong. They will need to think there ideas over  to see if its right for them. 


I agree that primary schools should have some type of reasoning skills. The reason is that they will be able to what is right and wrong. Thinking there ideas over  and having group methods and open there ideas and expand on them. When they get older they will more and more use critical thinking skill in there daily lives.  Having these skills will help them in many ways in school, jobs and daily life.
