@EU_Commission You know, a link to those guidelines here would've been really nice ;)

@EU_Commission Hey, just want to say how happy I am to be here in the EU (we moved here almost eight years ago from the US).

We don't have kids, but spending our tax money on teaching kids how to think for themselves is the best use of it I can imagine.

Keep up the good work!

Most teachers have not been trained in - or to teach - #CriticalThinking.
Difficult to teach #Misinformation effectively without this grounding.
Critical Thinking should be part of a child's education from their very first years of school. Yes, that may involve questioning Santa Claus, but their vulnerability & propensity for ideological capture later on begins here.
