Being a knowledge nerd, I always need to know the reason behind something, so am forever asking “why?” in real life anyway, but as a teacher, I do it even more, to get the students to talk.
During my one-to-one lessons with banker Alex, he’d check each time, “Do you really not know, or are you just trying to make me say it in Chinese?”
When I told current student Rosie (a retired teacher herself) about this, she came up with the term “professional ignorance”. Haha, brilliant.
