<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8273000, member: 106826&quot;]Yes, no offense to folks giving a short answer and we all are prone to do it, especially where one&#039;s time might be short on a given day.&nbsp; But getting folks used an investigative approach to answering a question that they have, or even sharing what they did to try to figure out something, helps them to develop a method to help themselves and others.&nbsp; Perhaps circle back to a thread to further develop the discussion and help develop fellow hobbyists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Side comment: the Western &#039;System of Education&#039; has largely devolved to rewarding school systems for producing weak/poor thinkers.&nbsp; Placing emphasis on &#039;teaching to the test&#039; in order to score points for a relative ranking amongst other schools locally, statewide, and nationally to determine where and where not to invest resources has created an approach to teach answers to students...not a method for learning how to figure things out and to develop knowledge.&nbsp; Critical thinking.&nbsp; Once a person forgets an &#039;answer&#039;, and they don&#039;t have a method for figuring an answer out, they will perhaps, ask again, &quot;What&#039;s that answer?&quot;&nbsp; Or worse.&nbsp; They won&#039;t pursue an answer at all.&nbsp; People or Educational Systems that encourage and develop intellectual curiosity, deserve our thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
