• In one lesson she observed, a ninth grader raised her hand to ask if there were any places in the world where no one made art. The teacher stopped her mid-sentence with, “Zoe, no questions now, please; it’s time for learning.”This isn’t some things teachers should say anymore because this kills what students can actually take away from the lesson.It only take that one sentence to get rid of what a child can do the idea.
  • Of course, some teachers do encourage and enhance curiosity – Engel says that in every school she visits there tends to be one teacher who is managing it. But it is usually down to an individual – rather than a systematic approach such as that introduced at Ilminster Avenue nursery school, in Bristol.Thankfully there are teacher who takes things like this into account.Teachers are supposed to teach and educate young minds and help them become who they want to be.
  • “Children should be prompted and encouraged to ask questions even though that can be challenging for the teacher,” he says. “We do need to find some time for questions during the day. There is not enough time in schools for creativity and following up on curiosity.”Although I agree that we do need  to find time for questions I disagree that there is enough time in the day.Instead of trying to teach thing that children won’t need to know take some time into asking them if they have any questions.
