Philosophy is probably the most important field of study for learning how to think critically and independently
Of course, but the trick is, do you need to dump $20K/year to learn this? Philosophy is a very broad subject, and there are many, many ways to learn the essential concepts. I have never taken a single class in philosophy, but I have always been very strong in the subject (other than the historical part of it cuz **** reading).
The though that you would need to wait until college to learn philosophy is kind of terrible, too. It should be focused on from the beginning of education, in kindergarten even. That would definitely help those who aren't "natural learners" like me.
