Imagine with me for a moment what the educational system would be like if it worked like this: students do all the question asking.
In class now a student is given material to read and then the teacher asks questions to verify the actual reading has taken place. What if the teacher was not allowed to ask questions of their students but only give answers? I believe that the focus of this would help the students more because it is helps more to ask a question than give an answer.
I don't presume to say that the teachers would be allowed and even required to test the students, but what if the focus was more on the answer side. Working for knowledge is an important aspect of life, reading and asking questions cannot steer you wrong, however the ability to get a clear and precise answer can sometimes elude a student. I know it has me.
So ask yourself have you in your body of experience at schools left with more questions when you left than when you arrived. If so there should be something done about that. The same holds true of government, a straight and concise answer should be given. What do they not want us to know? And why? All we want is the truth, the same truth we give when the government asks about us. Simple and concise.
