In this quote Riley suggest that students should be prepared to have life skills that they need for their future. As educators we have the greatest responsibility to teach these skills. Critical thinking is one of these important skills and it contains many skills that are important because they enable students “to solve their problems effectively. But why do people consider critical thinking as one of the 21st century skills? Critical thinking skills (CTS) are important for many reasons. First, They are life skills not only classroom skills. Second, they enhance creativity, curiosity, and innovation. Third, they enforce students to use the high order thinking skills . Last but not least, life is changing quickly and it is hard to make any prediction about the future and critical thinking gives wa22sastudents the ability to solve any problem and make decisions.
