The problem is that most students now go to school just to get a degree, a certification of sorts. They don't want to think and they're very resistant to any teaching that not "on the test."

What's more, college students have come to view their college enrollment as a commercial exchange where they expect to get "what they paid for." Unfortunately, for them, that's not critical thinking skills, but a "good" piece of paper that can get them a job.

Critical thinking can't be quantified or measured on a multiple-choice test, and is therefore becoming highly unpopular with students in even the best universities
