Having someone who has thought deeply about these subjects provide guideposts and suggestions about the questions I should be thinking about can make me more productive.

<div>The deeper scientific questions in soft areas like educational theory and curriculum design have to be concerned first asking important questions, and second with whether all the relevant cases have been identified and considered and factored into the actual designs and experimental methodology. (And I'm a big fan of being really careful and getting real criticism from real peers too)<br>
