The power of a question

The power of a question

The author's youngest daughter revealed to her that teachers continue to ask each student individually, in front of their classmates, what their parents' profession is. The young girl considered this practice unacceptable, arguing that the answers influence part of the academic success for the year.

The author was perplexed to learn of this situation. She was unaware that this type of question still happens in schools, especially in an era when so much is said about privacy, personal data, mental health, bullying, and inclusion.

The daughter argued that this shouldn't be done, highlighting the impact these questions can have on students. The article, titled "The power of a question," appears to be incomplete, ending abruptly at the phrase "The question seems simple, but".

Why this matters

Readers with school-age children may identify with this situation and question whether similar practices occur in their own children's schools. The mother warns about a problem that can affect children's emotional well-being and academic performance, especially those from families with professions that are less valued socially. This type of question can perpetuate inequalities and create an environment conducive to bullying among students.
