I wish I'd read, reread and read aloud this statement to my then dialectic son...

Unlike AQs, TQs do not focus on factual information or the main ideas. Rather, these questions ask the student to begin on his own a process of either connecting facts (dialectic) or analyzing them (rhetoric) before class. As a result, many of the TQs won’t be fully answered independently. Instruct your student to do his best at preparing to discuss them and anticipate that, during the Socratic discussion process, his comprehension of the material will increase.

AQs and TQs work towards the Socratic discussion. Rather than a more traditional Q&A parroting session, or a dull game of educational ping-pong, our discussion outlines attempt to enable your individual experiences to infuse your discussion with vitality, producing memorable learning. As a result, you will not find a quick “answer key” to the AQs and TQs in our discussion outlines, and your goal is not to “check your student’s answers.” Our Teacher’s Notes taken as a whole constitute each week’s “answer key.” The goal of each week’s discussion is to help your student to reach that “Ohhhh!” moment, which indicates that the student has worked his way through worldview issues and come to a satisfying conclusion.

Hope this helps some poor student who has a mom breathing down his neck for the answers to questions they aren't quite ready to answer just yet. And that said mom can gently guide said son in determining the answers through a great discussion and not assuming they weren't doing their work as assigned.
Important stuff.

Hey Stephanie,
Thanks for sharing! Very helpful. The moms need to get the "OHHHH" moment first, dont we! Discussions, as important as they are in this type of learning, sometimes get left out at our house, but we really need to grasp this concept for the full learning benefit. Appreciate the post!
