Ask the proper question

Today while filling out a questionnaire I became frustrated because all the questions had multiple choice answers and some were not how I would have wanted to answer.  Asking the right question is important.  The tire salesman asked, "What kind of tires do you want?"  Of course my answer, which I did not verbalize, was "the best of course".  The better question was which tires did I need.  The car is local use only, I don't put Winter tires on, low mileage use, and the car has over 100,000 miles on it.  The correct answer therefore was "the cheapest all-season and sipe them please", which saved me at least $300 dollars.  Are we asking the right questions about our education system?  What are our goals and are they what is best for the children?  Blessings, Dwight
