"No solo enseñes a tus hijos a leer enséñales a cuestionar lo que leen."
— George Carlin
Simplified Meaning:
Just telling kids how to read words isn't enough; they need to understand and think about what those words mean. Imagine a child reading a story about a hero. Instead of just enjoying the adventure, they should also think about why the hero made certain choices and if they agree with those actions. If kids only read without thinking deeply, they might believe everything they see without checking if it's true or good. In history, when people learned to ask questions, like during the time of great scientific discoveries, they found new truths and improved the world. Similarly, in everyday life, if someone reads a news article, they should consider if the information is reliable and if there might be other viewpoints. By questioning what they read, children can develop critical thinking skills, make informed decisions, and better understand the world around them. This way, they can grow up smarter and more thoughtful.
