What Is The Most Intelligent Question A Student Ever Asked You by tobechi20(m): 4:49pm On Jan 06, 2021 |
Culled from quora . One student asked a simple question that changed my life: “Sir,” he asked, “why are we learning this crap?” I reminded him about the use of appropriate language, then put down my chalk and walked to the back of the room. I looked at the drawings I had so carefully crafted and for the life of me, I could not think of one reason why these students should be learning this topic (even though it was in the curriculum). I responded, “well, you might need this if you take chemistry in university” but none of were happy with this reply. After school, I puzzled more about curriculum topics in science—why are students learning this or that? I felt that I should know the answer to this question 4 Likes |

He asked me why he should believe me. That’s a very good question and although you might assume he knew I was “smart” and “ qualified” it was my belief he was asking after my deeper more moralistic qualifications. This led to a brief discussion of “ consider the source” critical thinking. I liked the opportunity very much. Who was changed by this? I’ve no way of knowing who is ever ready for the insights I present. 3 Likes |

This happened yesterday: Teaching root words, prefixes and suffixes in grade 2. One of the words was ‘ungrateful’. Once they’d identified which bit was which I gave them synonyms and other words from the root. I showed them ‘gratitude’. One girl, Aiysha, asked, ‘Does ‘gratitude’ mean you have a great attitude?’ I thought it was brilliant 10 Likes 1 Share |

why 1+1=2.?because the answer can be a big 1.he asked me to take a cable and connect to another one and then request me how many cable do you have not I said I have 1cable but big one. He said that the answer of 1+1=2 is false i also realised that 1+2=1000,000 or more Because God created only two people now how many millions we are in this earth? The best answer for this exercise 1+1=2 depends on the context it can be two as we know and something else in another way. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Back in 2019, at the the Primary school I was teaching, a pupil once asked "Ehen! Uncle is there God? if there is God, where does he live and why is there bad happening everywhere? Even though I gave him the generic answer, I could see it in his face that he wasn't satisfied nor convinced. But the truth is the question he asked me at that point was as if meant to test my own conviction... I couldn't tell him God has forgotten about this world even if he truly existed I hope the boy grows up to find his own truth. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I was teaching junior class Basic science one day, I think I was explaining respiration when one boy asked me, sir, 'where did they get the oxygen they use in the hospital from?'. The question caught me unprepared. I think I was rambling and mumbling while giving my answer. 4 Likes 1 Share |

parkervero: Rev 6:2- “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer”. Rev 6:4 “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword”. Rev 6:5&6 “ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. Rev 6:8 “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” Rev 1 “1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: What your point is I don’t understand. And I’m very sure you don’t even understand yourself 6 Likes 2 Shares |
