[tweet from Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII: One of the best things a teacher ever did for me was say “I don’t know the answer to that but I’ll do some research.” It modeled a more honest intellectual discourse. You don’t have to pretend like you know everything & you don’t always need to have or share an immediate opinion.]

This LIBERATED ME so much when I figured out I could say this while teaching high school. But because my brain, I always had to write it down in order to follow up.
