How will kids know answers to the questions if they have not studied ahead?
• How did they know the answers when they were not studying at all? Those who knew the answers were affirmed; the others felt like failures. This does not create the kind of safe emotional climate where children learn best. • Instead of asking questions about what they were supposed to have studied, the questions we ask now should have to do with what kids think about what the teacher is presenting or about what they have done in class or read in the Bible. So everyone has a chance to add something and there will be no wrong answers–which is very important if you want kids to speak up in class!
