In schools are killing curiosity why we need to stop telling children to shut up and learn by Wendy Berliner. She goes in depth as to why curiosity in children needs to be encouraged. Schools are limiting children’s curiosity and promoting obedience. This is an approach that makes children lack effort in learning. Berliner quotes expert Dr Prachi Shah, a development and behavioral pediatrician “promoting curiosity, and children, especially those environments of economic disadvantage may be an important way to address the achievement gap.” Berliner encourages the shifting of focus on exploring children’s curiosity. This will help children thrive in their educational process and help them have a love for learning.
