I just read Brad Sachs's blog post "Calling Into Question" from Challenge Success.

It's about the importance of asking the rights sorts of questions of our children--at any age--to foster independence and reflective thinking. If you're a parent, educator, or other adult, it's very much worth the five minutes it it will take you to read.

Of course you're welcome to read it even if you're a student. Plus, you might want to pass it on to a parent, educator, or other adult who could use some reminding about how to foster independence and reflective thinking.
