Development of logic in adults - why is it necessary?

This opinion will be erroneous, because at school we were taught not to develop the logic of thinking, but to the template solution of the tasks set. And at home parents did not pay due attention to the development of logic in the child. That's why in adulthood many people are thinking about how to develop logic. Without the habit of logical thinking, it is impossible to approach the problem creatively. And without a creative approach, many tasks seem insoluble. Therefore, the development of creative thinking is extremely necessary for children and adults alike.
