Unfortunately, colleges, high schools, and even elementary schools are unlikely to mandate introductory courses in critical thinking on their own. Education has increasingly been transformed into a commodity system, in which the “customers” (formerly students) are kept happy with personalized curricula while being prepared for the job market (rather than being prepared to be responsible human beings and citizens).
遗憾的是，大学、高中甚至是小学都不太可能自发地推广批判性思维这项入门必修课。教育越来越转化为一种商品制度，其中的“客户”（也就是之前的学生）满足于在修习个性化课程的同时为就业市场做好准备（而不是准备成为负责任的人和公民）。
