When I was teaching kids and teenagers, the ones who asked the 'best' questions always did better in all subject areas in the long run than those who just waited to get everything poured into their heads. Sadly, my kids stopped asking their teachers as many curious, challenging questions at school after one or two awful teachers told them they ought to know better than to question a teacher. And, yes…the school did get a visit the next day!!

Ask Mr. Blogger Dad to expand your wardrobe! (Would be interesting to see what he comes up with..!)

Chase: Hi, Mr. March. You sound like a really great teacher. I like the project you had your kids do with the popsicle sticks. It looked really cool.

Hi Chase, I agree that there are many components that still have relevance in today’s world, but I do believe the structure needs to change. We are facing declining results in exponential times. Ignoring the truth, will only make it harder to catch up later.

Mimi: Thanks Mrs. Mindful. I have a friend that really likes to draw but she can’t do it in class. The teacher keeps telling her to stop drawing and start listening, even though she is a straight A student! Can you believe it?

Lori: Thank you, Lori. That was my favorite thing I read all weekend!

Laurie: That is exactly right!

Celebicepop: I think you want to talk to Writer Dad, and you should probably use email instead of comments if you want a response.

Timray: That is the point, Mr. Ray. The right questions preceding answers.

Friar: I’m not a dork, Mr. Blogger Dad just drew me that way!
