#21 Trying to make everything a teachable moment...
We've all done it-- our kid asks us a simple question, and we try to build a spontaneous unit study around "why some apples are green" or "why are they called flip-flops?" In our head's we're thinking what a wonderful fun lesson this is, and how great it is to work chemistry and history and literature into one amazing lesson (or maybe we can stretch it out over a few weeks!) Meanwhile, the kid is making a mental note to never ask another question again.
