I just have to wonder how many HS kids have the requisite experience and contextual knowledge to put the ideas behind critical thinking to use. I haven't met many collegiate level students who can.

I see a different problem, though- too many who DO have that knowledge/experience and who SHOULD learn to think critically (graduate level students, mid-level managers) aren't interested in learning how to or aren't offered the chance in their education.
