"I've been a teacher for many years and the 1 thing that keeps me going is kids brave enough and interested enough to ask questions."
I'm not a teacher myself but I have tought privately (tutoring, music instructions, etc). Also my parents are both life-long teachers. There is a difference between the student who asks a question when he just doesn't get something, and the student who asks a question at every single challenge. Questions are good for clarification, but if little Billy keeps raising his hand and his questions are "what's 2+2?", "what's 2+3?", "what's 2+4?", then you'd be a pretty irresponsible teacher if your responses were just "4, 5, 6".
