Banned from Raising Hands in Class

Posted by Eric at 10:31 am. Filed under: Randomly Interesting

The world just keeps getting stranger and stranger. First dodgeball, now raising hands in class to answer questions.

A school in London has banned children from raising their hands in class and teachers from calling on students with their hands raised.

Buck said the same children often wave their arms in the air, but when teachers try to involve less adventurous pupils by choosing them instead, it leads to feelings of victimization, the Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.

To spare embarrassment of the students who do not know the answer, the school has incorporated a “phone a friend” system, allowing one child to nominate another to take the question instead.
