Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.51,0:00:04.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let me expand on that just a little.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.58,0:00:10.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let me make the distinction here \Nbetween a question and a quiz –
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.99,0:00:13.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's very important.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.68,0:00:21.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, if I'm walking, as I do, \Non the streets of Boston --
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.78,0:00:23.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(I don't own a car.)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.60,0:00:26.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,– and a car comes up along side, \Nand somebody sticks his head
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.46,0:00:29.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out the window and says,\N"Hey, Mister," or whatever,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.61,0:00:32.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"can you tell us how to \Nget to Newbury Street?"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.58,0:00:36.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or "Copley Square," or \Nwherever it happens to be,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.84,0:00:39.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's a question.\NThey don't know.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.77,0:00:43.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They want to know.\NThey think I know.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.73,0:00:48.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So they ask me a question, hoping \Nto get from me the right answer --
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.26,0:00:51.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which they don't have.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.34,0:00:58.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now that's a legitimate question.\NThat's a search for information.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.66,0:01:01.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A quiz is something very different.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.05,0:01:03.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It {\i1}sounds{\i0} like a question –\NIt uses the same words.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.90,0:01:06.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the intention is \Naltogether different.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.81,0:01:25.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would be asking you a quiz if, believing \Nthat {\i1}I{\i0} had the answer to something,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.67,0:01:30.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I asked you a question to \Nmake sure that {\i1}you{\i0} had it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.02,0:01:35.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In other words, this is a way\Nof testing your knowledge --
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.68,0:01:39.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of making sure that your\Nknowledge agrees with mine.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.39,0:01:50.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now little children understand very clearly \Nthe difference between quizzes and questions.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.68,0:01:54.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of you will have had \Nthe experience of asking
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.13,0:02:00.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your little three year old or \Nfour year old a quiz-type question.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.20,0:02:06.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you may get the \Nanswer, "I don't know" --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.05,0:02:11.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is just a child's way \Nof refusing to answer what he/she\Nknows is not a real question,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.08,0:02:14.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not a serious question,\Nnot an honest question.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.53,0:02:20.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or you may get some silly answer.\NThat's another way of disposing of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.85,0:02:28.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One mother tells me that when she occasionally\Nloses her common sense for a second,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.82,0:02:34.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and asks her child a kind of quiz type question,\Nthe child turns right around and asks her one.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.06,0:02:50.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Little children understand\Nthat this is a quiz, not a question.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.65,0:02:55.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And they further understand\Nthat all that all quiz-type questions
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.55,0:03:02.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are a statement of lack of confidence.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.15,0:03:04.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a vote of no confidence.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.96,0:03:10.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Children resist being asked quiz-type questions\Nfor the same type of reason they resist
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.80,0:03:15.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being taught things when they \Nhaven't asked for them --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.41,0:03:20.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they realize \Nthat this is you stating:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.75,0:03:24.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I don't really think you know this."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.86,0:03:28.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is a statement of \Nlack of trust and confidence.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.23,0:03:33.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so they tend to react to it \Nwith a lot of anger and resistance --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.66,0:03:36.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which I think is altogether proper.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.46,0:03:42.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'd hope when we get these signals,\Nwe would pay attention to them.
