Because teaching isn’t about having the smart kid demonstrate that they know the answer, it’s about getting the kid who doesn’t understand the question to engage and learn.

Any of you who may one day have children would do well to understand the above.

100% I need to know what that kid is thinking, so I can guide them to the answer.

Maybe try doing that in a way that doesn't publicly shame them.

Sure, how? Engagement is a tricky thing, and kids "cheat" on homework and look up answers. Hearing from a student in class is the best way for me to see their thought process.

Is there a reason you can't simply keep this child in for a few minutes when everyone is on recess to ask them what they're struggling with?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Because I don't know their struggling until I hear their thought process. Hell, they usually don't know they're misunderstanding things until they start trying to explain the concepts I'm asking them about. Which is why I want to hear from every student periodically.

-edit- also I teach older kids. No recess.
