Bonnie: I love that the title of this episode is living in the questions. What would a happy medium be? Bonnie: Hold hard and fast to rules that are not in alignment with the goal of a class. Not having any sort of limits or boundaries at all, she says. Bonni: We have to keep asking the questions again; trust students when they write about a challenge.
