Dear Humans,
You’re not supposed to know the correct answer. When I ask a question that has an easy answer, it’s only to get your mind thinking about a more complex question that doesn’t.
Because there are only correct answers on worksheets–useful exercises, but far-removed from reality. And I’m not really interested in the answers on your worksheets, anyways; I’m interested in the process you used to get them.
Real life is messy. And all we can do is follow processes to get to solutions that are workable (until they fail and have to be reworked). So that’s what we try to learn to do in school–engage with the messy process of figuring things out.
Sincerely,
Mr. Curt
