Happy Friday, everyone. “There’s no right answer.” This is a common refrain in many educational contexts, most commonly in the humanities, such as history and literature, and most commonly during discussions. But it also just comes up in exploratory, conversational contexts with children, which can happen very young.
Sometimes it means “there isn't a *single* right answer.” There are many contexts in which there are multiple right, or at least good, answers. (But there are always many wrong answers.)
Thank you for expressing these thoughts. It has been my struggle too, as a child,an adult, an educator and a homemaker! I have been told there is no right answer a lot of times , and that it’s just perspective and a context. But I would rears have and find out there are answers , why people do not voice them? May be they are scared, avoid conflicts, fear of rejection there can be a lot of reasons. Fact remains providing right and is a challenge and a responsibility of all of us. In this age of speed and information explosion children are intelligent, wise and informed, as educators and guardians we need to provide them with right answers to keep them on the track of truth and wisdom.
Before these impressionable minds get influenced by distorted and unsafe truths easily accessible!
I really loved this essay! So we’ll timed and apt. Thank you once again.
