“It's about learning to think, to ask questions, and to foster virtue.”

Beautifully put.

Great post! I especially liked the following: "The heart of education is not about answering questions, it's about cultivating the ability to ask good ones." As a middle school teacher, I love forcing my students to write questions about a text rather than simply answer my questions. It throws them for a loop and inevitably ignites great discussions!

Also I chuckled at your John Warner recommendation. His "Why They Can't Write" adorns my bookshelf, along with other works. I didn't realize he had a Substack!
