A few posts back I wrote about students vs learners and questioning.  A conversation with some teens about their report cards a couple of days ago pulled it all together. One student received the comment “Does not answer questions.” The teen replied, “I answer questions, just not the right ones.” He then went on to talk about all the things he was reading, and the projects he was working on, none of them school related.  A prime example of a leaner and not a student.

I am an educator I like to answer questions. I also like to ask them.  I wonder if I asking and answering the right ones?
