Chapter 3: Classroom Behavior

1."If student's are really learning, they will be asking questions all the time -- in a manner that can sometimes annoy the teacher. Remember to treat questioning as a legitimate form of respectful speech, not a classroom misdemeanor." (page 40)

Some teachers get very annoyed with a lot of questions from the students, however, when a student is truly learning there will be questions asked. If the teacher treats these questions in a positive manner instead of a negative, learning will happen.

2. This part I think is really important because it makes it known that questions are okay. More times than none I had a teacher that discouraged questions, thinking that if you truly understood the material you wouldn't need to ask questions. However, I think that if a question requires some thought or an in depth conversation then maybe the teacher could offer to stay after school and invite anyone who would like the answer to the question to come in after school.
