    i can’t think of a better way to get shy kids to engage and learn than to figuratively put them on a pedestal in front of the whole class and have them demonstrate that they don’t know the answer.

      Plenty of shy kids don’t raise their hand even if they do know or could quickly find the answer with a little engagement.

      Yes, it’s uncomfortable for them to pick them anyway but it’s better than just giving them a bad grade.

      If you see learning as “I always must know all the answers when asked by a teacher” you will never learn.
