Aphoxema's Journal: Logic must become a regular part of public education

I have recently come to realize that something very important that is not being taught in grade schools is Logic.

We have and take for granted Mathematics, English, Physical Education, Biology, Science and other basic categories of classes. Even though Logic is highly mathematical and Science is a field that heavily depends on the use of Logic, Logic itself is a distinct set of information and is critical in every day reasoning.

Even the brightest minds can be tricked into accepting something illogical as true if it's patterned in a way they aren't familiar in being a fallacy. Perhaps, even, this assumption so many people have gained that most people are very dim stems from the lack of teaching in Logic.

Logic shouldn't be something people only start to realize in high school and particularly study in college, it should be a regular part of everyone's life as soon as they can grasp the concept of contradiction. I feel I took no great leaps in discovering contradiction in elementary. If i lied about something to get my way, it was amazingly effective even though it wasn't true.

To anyone who might possibly fall across this entry, I ask you; Have you studied Logic? What was the first time in your life you learned about it? Have you heard of dedicated classes for logical reasoning in anything below college? What about as part of another study?
