We should focus on questions, curiosity and appreciation. In my head, in the perfect school, every time someone asks a question, they will be told ' you are curious ', not ' you are stupid'.
No question is stupid, it's just a way of seeing things. Something which is stupid to me is not stupid to you, and vice versa. Why do some people in school have the right to decide whether or not my questions are stupid? How can they dismiss me and my curiosity?
Our school system doesn't focus on our strengths; instead, it ridiculous us for our weaknesses.
