Unanswered Questions

A practice of not answering questions persists.

I hope there will be change, but for the time being, I'll have to be satisfied to question and not receive answers.

I will work to not to do this with my students as I believe that questioning is important, and responding to those questions with an open mind and careful attention is a positive way to build a dynamic learning/teaching community. Onward.

Note: Sometimes, some people ask lots of questions. For some that makes it difficult to answer. When a student in my class asks a lot of questions, we typically create a good, respectful, positive routine for those questions--a routine that respects the questions and makes space for regular answers and application.
