Summary/Abstract: Reasoning is presented related to the need to rethink statistics education in order to create an opportunity to form statistical thinking as a mandatory element of the thought process of a free and informed person and thus overcome the problem of "numerical blindness" in society. It is concluded that the main reason preventing the creation of skills that can be qualified as statistical thinking is the patterning of statistics education by teaching ready-made "recipes" for the mechanical application of statistical methods "piecemeal", detached from the requirements and the logic of statistical methodology.
