Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

Teaching can be learning, especially if student curiosity with the question 'What's going on here?' can be elicited.

By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.

Unfortunately, most college kids these days aren't coming from any place-they seem to ask the same kind of questions over and over again.

If you are giving a graduate course you don't try to impress the students with oratory, you try to challenge them, get them to question you.

The teacher is commodified, the school is a shop, the subjects are consumer goods. To read, to think, to reflect, isn't a question of want, it's a question of need.

Students need to learn how to think critically, how to argue opposing ideas. It is important for them to learn how to think. You can always cook.

Who questions much, shall learn much, and retain much.

A question is a pursuit, an invitation to envision and explore a series of possibilities, to struggle and empathize and doubt and believe. The question moves, whereas our sense of what an answer is can often be static, a stopping point.

And I like asking questions, to keep learning; people with big egos might not want to look unsure.
