不知从什么时候开始，“批判思维”成了一个时髦的词，培养学生的“批判思维”成了先进教育理念。作为学生，学都还没有学通、学精，凭什么就批判？
“批判思维”很可能翻译自“Critical thinking”。维基百科对“Critical thinking”的解释是： Critical thinking is the analysis of facts to form a judgement. The subject is complex, and several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, skeptical, unbiased analysis, or evaluation of factual evidence. Critical thinking is self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem-solving abilities as well as a commitment to overcome native egocentrism and sociocentrism.
“批判” 一词，即使按最中性的理解，也是居高临下的评判，更多的时候，是反驳、否决。
“Critical thinking”可以翻译为“思辩”、“慎辩思维”，……,唯独不宜翻译为“批判性思维”，把“Critical thinking”翻译为“批判性思维”，潜意识中就有了“造反派”的特质。在“批判性思维”口号下培养出来的学生，更多的会成为不知天高地厚的无知之徒。
别再培养学生“批判性思维”了！
