Is a well-managed classroom always silent?
What will be an ideal response?
The stereotype of a teacher in the front of a room full of rows of silent children runs counter to everything we now know about how people learn. Today, classrooms have many configurations: students may be seated at tables, in groups of desks, or, yes, even in rows. But, however the classroom is arranged, learning cannot happen in silence. The well-managed classroom usually has groups of students communicating, collaborating with other students, working online, and, yes, making comments that pierce the silence.
