DO NOT

FORCE SHY KIDS

TO TALK.

DO NOT

TELL SHY KIDS

THEY NEED TO PARTICIPATE MORE.

DO NOT

MAKE PARTICIPATION

A GRADE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

HOW HARD IT IS

FOR SOME STUDENTS

TO JUST RAISE THEIR HANDS?

FORCING THEM INTO GROUP PROJECTS

AND MAKING THEM TALK

DOES NOT “TEACH THEM TO BE SOCIAL AND DEVELOP INTO WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS” 

IT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.

AND MAKES THEM HATE SCHOOL.

SERIOUSLY.

COLLEGES TOO.

THERE IS NO REASON TO REQUIRE A PARTICIPATION GRADE.

IF I’M MAKING 90′S ON ALL MY TESTS/QUIZZES

IT MEANS I KNOW THE DAMN MATERIAL YOU TAUGHT

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU LOWER MY GRADE 10% JUST BECAUSE I DIDN’T TALK ENOUGH.

I SWEAR IF I GET ANOTHER “B” IN A CLASS THAT I EXCELLED IN JUST BECAUSE I DIDNT FEEL LIKE RAISING MY HAND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

I MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL U  

PREACH

I may not be shy but I agree with you 100% about the whole participation part !

*SLAMS REBLOG BUTTON*

SERIOUSLY THIS IS AN ACTUAL FUGKIBG PROBLEM

over here, in Germany, participation is 2/3 of the grade, everything you write only counts for 1/3. I’ve always had As in written exams, but teachers thought it fair to give me Cs and Ds, just because I didn’t raise my hand often enough. (I did reply tho when asked directly.)

And other students who *beeped* up written exams but blabbered all lesson long (not even IN topic) got better grades than me. 

This speaks to me on a spiritual level.

Also, don’t force the shy kid into a group project with the popular kids. They’ll only be humiliated by the popular kids, which will have the opposite effect of what you want.

AND I STG DO NOT

*popular kid is being loud and obnoxious*

*sits loud and obnoxious kid next to quiet and shy kid*

A) a shy person shouldn’t be a punishment

B) it’s more of a punishment for the shy kid than the loud mouth

C) how about you send the kid outside or put him alone rather than allowing a student to distract other students and make them feel uncomfortable

plus, FUCKING DO SOMETHING WHEN SOMEONE IS BULLIED!

*DEMOLISHES THE REBLOG BUTTON*

Please! I swear! Teachers, learn from this! My sister has selective mutism (which means if she doesn’t talk much in public. If she doesn’t talk to you, don’t get offended. She didn’t talk to our aunt until she was six. She says she wants to talk to people, but it feels like the words get stuck in her throat) and school got so bad, my mother took her out of public school and started homeschooling her. Teachers, please, do not force shy, quiet kids to talk. It makes their shyness/quietness worse. 

I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS ENOUGH

I have some social anxiety, but I push it down during conversations and when I KNOW the answer to a question. MY FRIENDS CAN’T ALWAYS DO THAT. And it doesn’t help when we are regarded as one of the top students by our classmates, but then we give the wrong answer to your question and they laugh.

Please, if you’re going to grade us on participation, grade us relatively; so judge how much we talk to our friends and use that. Don’t compare the shy kids and the extroverts, because OUR VERY MINDS WORK DIFFERENTLY. Besides, you ask fewer questions than there are students to answer, so you are actually setting us up for failure if you don’t call on us WHEN we DO raise our hands.

I RELATE TO THIS POST SO MUCH
It always happens during school since I am a very shy person

YES AND TEACHERS WHEN YOU RANDOMLY CALL ON A STUDENT DONT YOU FUUUCKKIIIIING DARE SAY “speak up I can’t hear you” CUZ THATS THE WORST THING EVER IT JUST MAKES US FEEL ALL EMBARRASSED AND SHAKEY AFTERWARDS!! LUCKILY I’VE HAD TEACHERS WHO WERE CONSIDERATE ENOUGH NOT TO FORCE ANY OF THE STUDENTS TO TALK BUT THERE WERE A FEW EXCEPTION AND MYYY GOD DO I HATE THOSE FUCKING TEACHERS. LIKE SERIOUSLY, YOU LEAVE A BAD IMPRESSION ON US!

THIS IS SO FUCKING TRUE
