That's awesome😊 Exactly! Again, I was lucky because my public education was stellar. The vast majority of my teachers encouraged asking questions and we had class discussions about what we were learning. We didn't have the "teach to the test" issue when I went to school. Now it's all about memorization of facts and not the acquisition of knowledge. Two of the worst teachers I ever had had the memorize the facts attitude and it made learning duller than dirt.

I was lucky. My parents encouraged my curiosity. If I ever had a question, even if they knew the answer, they always told me to look it up. I was also within walking distance of the library. My parents' instilled in me a lifelong love of learning.
