Critical thinking helps kids get accepted to college? It sure didn't help back in my day.

I should have said, few are capable of learning a new language without total immersion. And few are capable of learning to do linear algebra, calculus, or C++ well. Even fewer are capable of serious critical thinking.

But they can still mostly benefit from college.
