How do you distract teachers?

Answer 1

Questions that have long confusing answers and follow up questions are usually the way to go, like when in science, say something like, "Miss/Sir, I heard somewhere that a man literally burst into flames on Christmas Day and died, can that really happen?" the teacher will usually give some long boring answer, but pretend to be interested, if he/she says a simple one word answer, opt for the follow up question, eg. But how can that happen? Using the word "how" will usually make the teacher explain. If in algebra, make up some really confusing question, but make it seem uncomplicated in your mind, eg. But what if x was the same as y[squared]? Could you just write y[squared] as x? Something like this can be easy to follow through.
