How to ask questions

Think of it this way: if you have a question about the current material you’re learning, chances are, others have the EXACT SAME QUESTION. Speak up! There’s nothing “stupid” about asking questions. In my opinion, it’s stupider not to ask questions and just get out of class having not understood or having not learned anything.

I’m that loud kid in the middle of class that always says stupid things [on purpose… just to lighten up the class] but also gets in good questions. ^^" But, believe me, I was really withdrawn back in middle school. It all turned around with lots of practice from being in debate teams. It also helped immensely to get more familiar with the teachers. [this means asking questions or talking to teachers outside of class] If you are more comfortable in the class, you’ll be more likely to speak your mind.

You’re in high school and you’re human. Don’t expect everything that comes out of your mouth to be pure perfection. I don’t take myself too seriously. It may also help that most people know me as the ‘artsy’ kid so there’s that ‘artsy kids are stupid’ stereotype always floating around. Let’s just say I don’t have really high standards to live up to… haha ^^"

Don’t get me wrong. I’m a good student academically + teachers enjoy my participation in class ._.
