The way this article reads it's as if we don't teach any critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, or problem solving skills (all of which are taught in Science at least from years 6-12 currently) or emotional capabilities (often actively taught in pastoral care). It seems the "think tank" haven't actually been in a school for quite a few years! [I can only attest to these capabilities being taught in Science 6-12 as that is my teaching area] It is no wonder we, as teachers, never take this sort of thing seriously!!!
