| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the natural drive of children to explore and learn, emphasizing the need for schools to move away from rigid, scripted instruction to better leverage innate inquisitiveness. Topics include the stifling of student inquiry as curricula shift toward direct instruction after kindergarten and the distinction between intellectual wandering and wondering as essential components of cognitive growth. |
