NPM: #28–a classroom poem
This poem is for all you teachers out there, and yes, to you students as well. We ask a question, and know our students know the answer, but there is such a reluctance to share the knowledge, unless you are the student who always has the willingness. What about the others? This poem helps to unravel the mystery of the reluctant hand.

Long time ago I served as the librarian and PE teacher at a Christian school–very different now that I’m in the public system.
what time is it over there now?
I reply at 6 am West Coast time
West coast Philippines?
Haha–I’m a product of the USA
oops. i thought u were in Philippines
don’t laugh too hard.
Laughter in that I rarely travel outside of my own state, let alone venture to faraway countries 🙂
My son has a reluctant hand, but he’s learning to share. To overcome his fear of being wrong or being the center of attention. When he’s called on, he often forgets his answer. But he’s learning not to worry about that. It’s difficult for him.
At least he’s trying! A hand for his hand 👏
