I posed the question
about what people were curious about and the following six people responded
with these rather interesting questions and musings. I commend them to you in the interest of your own curiosity. What piques your curiosity?
CS
Why do I (and many
others as we get older) wake up at 3 am?
Will we ever find other intelligent life in the universe?
What makes some people so darned funny and charismatic? (I have one of THOSE children)

1. why people don't get that they
are responsible for their own health
2. why people (including me) make
the same mistakes over and over again
3. why certain cultures don't
respect other humans
4. why you don't turn the heat up
full when you boil water
5. what compelled the soldiers of
WWII to be so patriotic and single minded
6. why Apple trashed mobile me.

What would it take for public schools to see that identifying and teaching
dyslexic kids reading in grades 2-5 would save millions in prison and other
"failure costs".
Would a strong community service program in elementary grades decrease bullying and violence in middle and high school?

I
have often wondered how much your individual CULTURAL (or maybe social)
background influences your interests or curiosities....growing up in a small
town vs growing up in a large city...growing up in a very religious family vs a
non-religious family...growing up in a home-schooled family vs attending public
schools vs attending a private school...etc.

Are humans capable
of living peacefully? Does God exist, or is it a human construct?
Will humans become cooperative enough to survive on this planet in a
sustainable way? Is there meaning in Literature or do the postmodernists
have it right?
DP
How do we cultivate it in our
children and in ourselves? I am curious about the true meaning of citizenship
in the 21st century (sans hype or yellow press) and the enormous
challenge of developing resilient and responsive human beings. I
am curious about stewardship and leadership and the partnership of public and
private education. I wonder about connecting travel, study abroad and
cross-cultural activity (including second language learning) in a spiral
curriculum that seeks to impart global mindedness to young adults.
What would we call it?
