Ask this question when your child gets home

When your child gets home today, try asking the same question Nobel Prize-winning physicist Isidor Rabi's mother asked him: "Did you ask a good question today?" Encourage your child to think about what's being taught in class. What questions does your child have about how a concept works or connects to another idea? Rabi credited his mother for his becoming a scientist; her daily query prompted him to ask thoughtful questions.
