A Kid Once Asked Me A Question In Class And My Answer Was Huh. Good One. Dont Know. Ill Check And Get

A kid once asked me a question in class and my answer was “Huh. Good one. Don’t know. I’ll check and get back to you.” The Deputy Head observing me devoted half the debrief after to this amazing occurrence, mostly in genuine shock and disbelief.

KIDS NEED TO KNOW IT’S ALL RIGHT TO NOT KNOW, and that the answer is to go look it up and find out. Whether you’re a teacher / parent / youth worker / whatever, if you interact with kids at all please, PLEASE admit that you don’t know everything. And then worry less about teaching them Stuff, and instead teach them how to learn.

one time in sixth grade i did my math homework and then because i was excited that i had grasped the lesson so well, i did the next day’s homework too

the next day in class i told my teacher, and she looked constipated for a second, and then said dismissively, “well, then you’re not very good at following directions, are you.”
