Our school education system maims our students throughout this 12 years ordeal. Students are discouraged to ask questions. If one dares, he/she is ridiculed by the teacher in front of the class. May be the ridiculed student still continues asking questions but the whole episode discourages many other classmates, who witness the event, from asking questions fearing embarrassment they might have to face if teacher ridicules their question. To very great extent parents also contribute to this phenomenon in the similar manner.
There are many reasons for this behavior of teachers. Possibly they do not have enough time at hand to devote to question answer sessions. They have to deliver too much in too little time. Other possibility is the teacher does not know the answer and is reluctant to accept his ignorance.
The ability to question is very important for an Architect. Unless you question you cannot possibly search for answers. If there is no search for answers, there is no research. If there is no research there is no innovation, no evolution and there cannot be any transformation. Building up a question is also important process. In fact, one must be formally taught as to how to develop a question. One needs to build an ability to critically review the situation and question the right or wrong.
