My favorite part of this chapter was a story. A student asked a question that was not directly pertinent to the lesson. Rather than ignoring it the teacher said that they would talk about it another time. I would assume that the class did not believe that the question would be addressed because the students were surprised when the teacher came in the next day with an entire lesson planned around the previously asked question.
This really stood out to me because I believe that it is ok and necessary for little side tracks like that to happen. I like that the teacher didn’t go on a tangent that day but stuck to what was planned; however she did make room in her curriculum for it. I think that students should feel that if they ask a question it will get answered. I also think that they should feel the questions they ask are important.
