[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does a teacher forget WHO has been raising his/her hand during the day? Really can't mentally track that?[/quote] It is not as much about who is raising his or her hand, as it is about who the teacher is calling on. Haven't you ever read about studies, heard parents complain about boys monopolizing class discussion, girls monopolizing class discussion, minority students not getting called on, etc? We all have biases (race, gender, personality type, etc), teachers too. One way to combat unconscious bias is to actually keep track of who the teacher is calling on. The stick overrides the teachers' tendencies to pick on the same kids to speak over and over. It also helps kids learn to respect when it is someone else's turn, and not feel entitled to answer every single time.[/quote]
