The Question is … The question is how come the teacher asks all the questions when I'm the one who needs to know things. The question is why I'm supposed to have the answers to all my parent's questions when they can't answer mine. The question is why scientists ask ten questions for every answer they get but I have to answer seven out of ten to pass. The question is why politicians learn not to answer questions while I must learn how to answer them. The question is why questions have to be answered fast in school when philosophers take years to answer them. The question is why there are so many little questions in school when Marie Curie spent her whole life on one big question. The question is why I must find answers to already answered questions when I have questions that have not yet been answered. The question is why can't I be in charge of the questions? Jamie Mc.
