Student: "Mr. BillyMac. Do you know what time it is?"
Mr. BillyMac: "Yes."
Imagine the sound of crickets chirping for several seconds ...

Question asked. Question answered. The lesson: It's important, as part of the scientific method, to to word scientific questions properly.

My grade 10 physics teacher, Mr. Robertson, told us a story about the importance of always including the units in an answer:

(Background: Ontario roads have speed limits measured in kilometres per hour) In his story, he was travelling throughout the Canadian prairies one fine summer. He passed a sign that said "Maximum 80". So he started going 80..... miles per hour.

Naturally, a police car saw this and started the pursuit. When the officer accused Mr. Robertson of speeding, Mr. Robertson pointed out that the sign said 80 and he was doing 80. Because the sign didn't specify the units, the police officer had no reason to ticket him.

While I believed the story to be fake, the lesson of always including the units was clear as day!

When I got my instructor credentials in the military I too learned a similar, valuable lesson.

Young Instructor (me) at the end of my presentation: Are there any questions?
Evaluator: What did you have for dinner last night?
Me:

Next Class, at the end of class: Are there any questions pertaining to this block of instruction as I have explained it to you?
Evaluator: No.
Me:

Lesson Learned!

Another reoccurring "teacher" question/answer:

Student (with a runny nose): "Mr. BillyMac. May I borrow a tissue?"
Mr. Billy Mac: "No. I'll give you one. You can keep it. I don't want it back."

Student: My. BillyMac, can I ask you a question?

BillyMac: You just did.

Student: Can I ask you another question?

BillyMac: You just did that too.

Student: Can I ask you another questions, after this one?

BillyMac: Yes.

Student: .
