    Ronald Vale wrote an article about the importance of asking questions and intellectual curiosity. As people age, they tend to ask fewer questions and accept facts without questioning them. The author notes that children frequently ask "why" questions to understand the world, but adults often stop questioning things. By not asking questions, adults limit their potential to gain new intellectual knowledge. People sometimes avoid asking questions due to fear of what others may think. The author encourages students to ask questions in class without worrying about their peers and focus on learning. Developing the ability to ask good questions requires practice and exploration.

    Ronald Vale: The Value of Asking Questions

    Ronald Vale wrote an article on the value of questions and intellectual exploration. Curiosity is
    important to help us understand the world around us. Vale says that as we grow up into adults,
    we ask fewer questions and we accept facts as “that’s the way things are”. I feel like this is very
    true because everyone who has children knows there is the “why” stage. This is where children
    begin to question everything around them. I have realized that now that I am adult, I have
    stopped questioning things. Although I still remain curious, my lack of questioning is only
    hindering the intellectual knowledge that I could gain if I just asked a question. A huge reason
    why people stop asking questions when they get older is because they are afraid of what others
    might think of them. I have witnessed this in and out of the classroom. I have made a point to
    express how important it is to ask questions in class. I want to make sure my students know
    that they should never worry about what their classmates think of their question and only focus
    on their success in class. “Do not suffer in silence… ask if you are unsure!” is what I tell my
    students. Thinking of questions to ask is a skill that needs to be practiced. Questioning
    something involves mental concentration and it needs to developed through practice and
    exploration. A good question can be great for inquiry learning. Investigating an answer to a
    question does not require a lab experiment, but rather a personal quest to find out further
    information through research, investigation, and good questioning!
