I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.

Terry Pratchett
About This Quote

This quote suggests that we need to be careful about encouraging students to think outside the box. I do think that we should encourage people to think outside the box and not discourage them from doing so. However, I sometimes wonder if we should be thinking about what is inside the box instead of outside of it. There are plenty of other ways in which we can encourage students to think beyond the box and beyond the classroom.
