Can you explain how this is literal? Doesn't the teacher want her students asking for help if they don't understand the assignment?


Apparently it's a matter of degree: The boy keeps on interrupting with questions. While the girl doesn't take her literally because of previous experiences.


I see. It said:

Quote:
A boy with AS has his hand raised from the outset and won't put it down


So either that was poor wording they did there or I took it literal. I thought he had his hand raised and wouldn't put it down, not that he had it raised and kept on asking questions before being called. :D

I was taught as a kid to always raise your hand and wait until the teacher calls on you before you talk. That was the rule we had in our classroom.

Edit: I realized those weren't your words but a quote from someone else.
