How to Raise Smart Kids: Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Something that I think we could all use as a reminder as teachers. How often do we find ourselves telling students to stop what they are doing or saying, “You are making a mess”. I think this video is a strong reminder that we need to take a step back at times and let kids do at what they do best, explore, experiment discover. It may not always be what we want but it is certainly what they need. Although it may not always be ideal in a classroom setting, taking a step back and just watching what can happen, we might be pleasantly surprised or we will have a huge mess to clean up ;).
