[quote=Anonymous]My dd is a top student. She felt like her teacher very rarely called on her. She liked her teacher and so she raised the issue with her teacher one day. Her teacher said that it’s more important for her to call on students who may not grasp a subject to see what they know/understand than it is to call on the students who have already demonstrated mastery. Dd thought her teacher also tended to call on students who weren’t paying attention, so she would sometimes try to look like she wasn’t paying attention, in the hopes that it would increase her chances of being called on. She said her teacher didn’t fall for it. I never considered intervening, but I am a mildly concerned because I experienced the same thing as an elementary school student and it lead to my giving up raising my hand. I had a rude awakening in college, when class participation often counted for 10% of the grade in a class. I was not used to participating.[/quote]
