Teacher friend, can you relate to hearing your students say: “Teacher, I’m stuck!”, “What do I do now?”, “Where am I supposed to turn this in?”, “Can I go to the bathroom?”…

On and on and on the never-ending stream of inane questions comes. Can anyone relate? Does reading that list of questions immediately make you cringe as you think of all the times your students have asked you these questions so many times you want to pull your hair out?! Well, it might be time to train up some independent problem-solvers, so your students can spend more time learning and less time asking all those maddening questions.
