Questions, a man is fueled by, to quench his unending desire to know the answer.Since the ancient times, man has always questioned, question rituals, theories and even society. But too often, man has abided rather than question. Too often men in higher positions have gotten away with acts which have gone unquestioned.
If right from the childhood, pupils are encouraged rather than disperiated to question facts, theories, notions and customs, it develops a very healthy desire to know more, to explore more.
Firstly, they allow a pupil's mind to develop and to stray away from the banal thoughts and facts. They allow the mind to flourish, and the brain to develop. They allow students to be engaged, rather than being incurious during lectures. Secondly, it makes students more fit to come forth and speak his/her mind and takes away the uneasiness that is so common that it balks an individual's urge to speak up and is often difficult to aver oneself later on in life.
Thirdly, any student who is skeptical and ready to question, will learn better. It induces a sense of self interest, an urge to seek more, an urge to learn more. Parents and Teachers would no longer have to adjure their children/students to study. Fourthly, such acts of questioning by students would cease all sense of complacency with the teachers, would make any teacher prepare and research more than that what he or she would've normally been ready to. It would make teachers more prepared and hence the quality of teaching would improve drastically. A teacher who is ready to do more and dwell more and is knowledgable is more amiable and respected than a teacher who just dictates as written in the text.
More often than not, parents and teachers feel learning is about the grades and is about who comes first or second. But it isn't, learning is about becoming enlightened, while grades are important, it shouldn't be the driving force. And for the important steps such as learning, if you're not ready to question or ready to be inquisitive, then for what steps can you?
