Last month, I shared my choices for The 13 Best Classroom Q&A Posts in 2018 and 2018’s Most Popular Classroom Q&A Posts.

I thought it would be interesting to research and find which posts have been most popular during the eight-year existence of this blog.

Here, following a quotation from one of them, are the “all-time” (at least for now) 12 most popular Classroom Q&A posts:
