Wonder and Evidence

When you hear the word Evidence you probably think about crime scene investigation, CSI, Law and Order. And this is for a good reason. One of the first steps of solving a crime is finding all the right evidence. What you probably don't connect with CSI is wonder. If half of solving a crime is finding all the evidence the the other half is making assumptions. To make an assumption, you first have to Wonder. Wonder about all your evidence and all the circumstances. The point that I am trying to make is that wonder and evidence are both intertwined and that they are very important. 

Evidence, what you need to make your point. Be it in court, in your home, or in the class room. At our school evidence is more important then in other schools. To prove this point I will present some Evidence. At the end of the year, we have a TPOL. This is essentially where we prove to our peers and our parents that we are ready to go to the next grade. We use evidence to show that we have learned something. 

Wonder is also a very important virtu at our school. When I say wonder I mean thinking about things. Pondering problems and ideas. When you think about and idea a lot you refine it and make it better. Or rather, better fitting for your mindset. Wonder ties into  intelligence and imagination. Also your ability to grasp certain concepts. I find that when I don't understand something I think and wonder about it a lot and then I understand it much better. Wonder can also be used to describe a hunger for knowledge. If you wonder about things you will probably want to know more about it. Albert Einstein said to never stop asking questions. Einstein, arguably the smartest person ever to live. He was able to figure out all those amazing things because he wondered about them. This wonder drove him to ask questions. Because those questions didn't have answers at the time he went out and answered those questions.
