Students are a diverse group of people, so they have a variety of reasons that they are hesitant to ask questions in class. Some possible reasons: * They understand the concept and don't feel the need to ask any questions. * They are too embarrassed to ask the question in front of their classmates since they feel it is a "stupid question." This is probably the most likely reason since classrooms are often a source of peer pressure. * They don't want to ask too many questions and slow down the class. If the lecture goes over, then they will not have as much time for homework. * Students are not paying attention, so they have no idea what is going on. If they have no idea what is going on, then they can't questions about the lecture Try these:

* Start a conversation with the class about the subject, rather than just asking for questions. It is less threatening. Wait a full 60 seconds before moving on.

* There should be a worksheet for everyone to complete before leaving class. Let them work on it for a few minutes and then ask for the first answer. Ask for the process they used to get the answer, not just the answer.

* Announce that they may have private help at your desk. But, this is only if the class will behave while this is going on. Otherwise, walking around and checking each student's progress or asking a specific question about an error you see on their paper may get them started.

Should teachers read aloud notes passed in class?

The teachers are responsible for the class and so, yes, they can take students notes from them. Of course, they are not going to publish them, but the notes are not appropriate student behavior. Students are there to learn and to practice what they have learned and passing notes interferes with that. That is, because the communications in class are meant to be about the subject.
