Asking a question is one of the most important things that anyone can do. We get questions on all kinds of topics on learning, well-being and mental health from people from all over North America. It is one of the most important things that we do, and it is one of the most fulfilling. Answering questions gives us a chance to really understand what students, teachers and parents wonder about and struggle with in their daily lives.
