The question is … The question is why questions have to be answered fast in school when philosophers take years to answer them. The question is why there are so many little questions in school when Marie Curie spent her whole life on one big question.

Looking at Learning - Questioning How many questions do we ask students in a given lesson? How much teacher talk is there in a given lesson? What kinds of questions (higher / lower order; open / closed) are we asking our students? How are we incorporating students’ questions into our teaching and learning? How much wait time do we give after asking a question?
