I loved this quote from Shanna Peeples’ Think Like Socrates:
Our students need to ask questions now more than ever. To shield them from thinking and questioning in a mistaken fear of “pulling them off task” is at best wasted effort and at worst an isolation from what truly makes us human.
In a world increasingly uncomfortable with the changes wrought by technology, we seek out authoritarian figures to tell us what to do and how to think.
Questioning, therefore is good citizenship. It is the antityranny vaccine.
