Teachers are there to teach us.
Not to berate us when we ask questions that are not considered ‘smart’. I never understood the reason why teachers get annoyed when a student asks too many questions. I mean doesn’t it mean the student is participating and trying to learn? Why is it a bad thing? However, teachers will sometimes resort to egging on other children when they bully the unfortunate kid.
That is exactly what was happening to this girl. You see she asked a lot of questions when she was in class. And that gave free rein to all the other students and teachers to bully her to no end. They all thought she was extremely dumb. However, the most surprising thing was she always aced her exam.
As it turns out, the questions weren’t from her but from her anxious friend.
Does taunting really help a person learn more? Isn’t it better to be supportive?
Just because she asked a lot of questions, People assumed she was dumb.
Everyone was curious about how she did so well in her exams.
However, as it turns out, she was just helping her friend.
I mean it is very nice to see a girl helping their anxious friend but what about the teachers? Shouldn’t they support the kids who ask a lot of questions rather than silencing their voices? I feel like schools should have policies so other students can’t bully the apparently ‘dumb’ ones.
She endured all the bullying on behalf of her friend and never said anything.
We would all be lucky to have friends like these.
This is heartwarming to see so many friends helping each other.
I think someone should tell the teachers this.
We should be moving on from this old sentiment.
Many people in the class want to ask these questions but are always too afraid too.
What would you do in this situation? Would you continue asking all the questions or would you sit back down? Comment down below and let u know. And don’t forget to share so we can end the stigma around this.
