Is it really true that there are no dumb questions ? Some teachers certainly think so. They encourage students to ask any question, no matter how dumb it may seem. It's a good practice, in theory. It means that shy students or kids who aren't understanding the lesson have a chance to have their basic questions answered.

'I put my foot down': Mother refuses to help 15-year-old daughter go on school trip after daughter continually forgets important things

This mom is wondering if she's actually being petty… or if she's just raising a teenager .
