Teaching Thinking Needn't Put Able Thinkers at Risk: A Response to John Baer.

Perkins, D. N.

Educational Leadership, v45 n7 p76-77 Apr 1988

A response to the opinion by John Baer that teaching thinking puts able thinkers at risk. The chances are greater that educators may retreat from teaching thinking if they are uncertain about the importance and possibility thereof than that able students will be harmed by efforts to help them.
