In the article “School Kills Curiosity”, the writer Wendy Berliner writes about how curious young students are being shut down by teachers because of the educational systems. The writer introduces the article with a scene of young students with their teacher in the classroom. They were teaching the kids about weather and there was thunder outside their classroom. Furthermore, they had so many concerns and the teacher “draw their attention back.” This concludes how teachers juststick to the agenda. The writer also mentions that “promoting curiosity is a foundation for early learning that we should be emphasizing more than we look at academic achievement.” Some teachers think asking questions is disturbing the class and for not learning. For example, the writer mentions a ninth grader raising her hand and her teacher stopped her mid-sentence and said “it’s time for learning.” Teachers are killing the young students curiosity. This concludes that teachers think that asking questions is disruptive.
