It is critical that students understand that there are often many ways to consider an issue or solve a problem, and that not all problems have a right or wrong answer. This is important well beyond academic learning. Many social, political and ethical issues are fraught with gray areas that students will need to consider to fully understand the complexity of a situation. Students, regardless of reasoning ability, might be more or less comfortable with ambiguity. Adults can provide ongoing coaching and support in this area. The more students have experience with the discomfort of "not knowing" the better they will handle it.
