Living in Crete | Sept 28:: Ask a Stupid Question Day

"Ask a Stupid Question" Day is today, September 28, a holiday that is a bit like April 1st.

It is the day all you school students to ask your teachers all those dumb questions.


Apparently, the roots of this special day goes back to the 1980's. At the time, there was a movement by teachers to try to get kids to ask more questions in the classroom. Kids sometimes hold back, fearing their question is stupid, and asking it will result in ridicule. Teachers created this day on September 28, If it fell on a weekend, they would celebrate it on the last day of the month.

What is this doing in Living in Crete? Well, apply the same theory to the BritsinCrete Forum and post a stupid question. No one will be offended on this or subsequent days.
