I feel this article is well worth reading. It helps dispel the myth that critical thinking can be applied to all situations. Many educational programs and business leaders have advocated for learning “higher-order thinking skills,” assuming these skills will then be++

One of the most poignant images from All Saints’ Day in London.
At the Polish Air Force Memorial in Northolt, 8-year-old Antek joins hundreds of Poles in paying tribute to the Polish airmen who sacrificed their lives ‘for your freedom and ours’. Their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten!
The commemoration was organised by Polskie Dywizjony Lotnicze, and British Poles was the media patron of the event.

There are two fundamental facts about human memory that everyone should know. Working memory is one of them and Daisy explains it brilliantly here. This is also why "there's no need to memorise facts, I have the whole Internet in my pocket!" is bad and wrong.

That's why I think opportunity cost is the single most important idea in school improvement. Every hour our teachers—and our students—spend on one thing is an hour they don't have to spend on something else. And this matters most of all for students who find learning hardest...

We remember the heroes of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944!
The Warsaw Uprising was the largest effort by any European resistance movement during WWII. It was brutally crushed by the Germans after 63 days of heroic fighting.
As a result of the German atrocities, over 200,000 civilians were killed. Warsaw, one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, was reduced to ruins.
Pictured: the late Zbigniew Rylski "Brzoza" – the last soldier of the legendary ‘Parasol’ Battalion.

On this day in 1944, after 63 days of almost unimaginable sacrifice, the Warsaw Uprising came to an end. The men and women of the Polish Home Army had fought street by street, cellar by cellar, often with little food, medicine, or ammunition.
They had faced one of the most powerful war machines in Europe and held out far longer than anyone could reasonably have expected. When the agreement ending the fighting was signed, the surviving insurgents were granted prisoner-of-war status.
For Warsaw’s civilians, however, the suffering was not over. They were driven from the ruined city, leaving behind homes, churches, schools, family photographs, and the graves of people they loved. Warsaw itself had been shattered, but the spirit behind the uprising was not.
October 2 is now observed in Poland as the Day of Remembrance of the Civilian Population of the Warsaw Uprising - it is a day to remember not only those who fought with weapons in their hands, but also the ordinary people who endured hunger, bombardment, executions, displacement, and the destruction of almost everything familiar to them.
Yes, the uprising ended, but the memory did not.
