CT is the most important link between the real world and academics. I am seeing my daughter becoming knowledgeable about a lot of things. News is no longer boring.
Textbooks may make you fit to pass an exam. But what will prepare you for life can be found outside your textbooks only. So include life skills, social consciousness, empathy for fellow human beings, care and concern for the environment and the world we live in in our daily reading.
