[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s odd and maybe it’s an odd class. The point is that everyone can and should shout out. And the goal is not for one person to get the right answer but for many to contribute to the overall knowledge.

Thank-you for this link!!! This was a really fantastic example, and I'm really glad I read it. In fact it seems all his articles regarding teaching are outstanding.[/quote]

OP here. That does seem like an engaging and inclusive way of teaching. My introvert would actually do great with that, and would engage. But it does not describe what the socratic approach seems to be at least at my child's school. They are not allowed to raise hands; they need to jump into the conversation, essentially beating other kids to the punch or interrupting to be heard. And the teacher does not speak at all after the initial introduction of the topic, so there is no teacher questioning or steering of the conversation. [/quote]
