English should teach us a lot more than what’s described here - with opportunities to study & analyse the language of texts in the world - journalism, blogs, social media etc. It used to pre-Gove. It doesn’t now. And Media Studies has been devalued. That’s the point.
Tom Bennett OBE@tombennett71

-History teaches us to interrogate sources -Maths teaches us to think procedurally and logically -English leads us into examining narrator and character motives and perspective -Religious studies teaches us that faith claims and truth claims are often divergent -Science teaches us to test our hypotheses, and to lean on tangible evidence. Etc. The architecture and foundation of critical thinking are imbedded and embodied by the disciplinary skills intrinsic to the existing taxonomy of academic subjects. It’s not an assembly on why Andrew Tate is bad (which he is) or Facebook is stuffed with inane rubbish (which it is). It’s the whole academic experience of a school’s curriculum- when taught thoroughly.

@tombennett71 Media studies (and media within English) is best positioned in the curriculum to do this important work - this has been completely marginalised over the last fourteen years. We advocate for a return to compulsory media education for all, starting in primary.

The best way to teach children how to be critical thinkers about social media (or any new information) is for schools to: 1. Make sure they know lots of core knowledge about science, history, language, etc so that false information is easier to challenge, and they possess robust frameworks of existing information 2. Teach them how to formulate logical arguments and syllogisms, and identify faulty reasoning. A few assemblies on fake news won’t cut it. The best way to nurture generations of informed critical thinkers, is by teaching them acres of knowledge-rich domain content, and how reasoning works. Critical thinking isn’t a skill separate from these things; it is composed of them.
