So many people see question asking as a burden for this exact reason. The child's "why" game is often met with negative reactions from adults (teachers) as it's seen as unending and obnoxious. I like this framing of it. I really enjoyed leading with curiosity in the classroom, and allowing students to ask questions in order to entertain all possible answers, some already existing within the students' consciousness, rather than one "right" answer. The Socratic method of questioning has so much value in driving learning, evaluating learning, and challenging each other as teacher-learners.
