What do teachers think of students who rarely answer questions in class?
I usually assume that they are shy. I rarely answered questions when I was a student. Indeed, I was very shy and also lacked self-confidence. People who know me now sometimes have trouble believing that I was once so enormously shy.As a professor, I have a way of handling this issue that has been quite effective. I’ll ask a question, and then ask students to raise their hands if they don’t want to be called upon. I never call on anyone who raised a hand, but I do try to pick on someone who hasn’t ever spoken in class, or who appears to be hiding from me.Of course, you have to overcome modest shyness just to raise your hand.This approach serves another purpose: it makes students think about whether they do know the answer or not. Too often students, after they hear an answer from another student, think to themselves, “I knew that!” But more often than not, they didn’t. My method forces the student to decide if he/she really does or not, before hearing the answer. It also gives me a useful gauge of how well the students are learning the material from my lecture.
9/11 interview questions?
I have an assignment that involves interviewing people on 9/11, so I decided to interview you guys. If possible, it would also help if you were also in high school at the time or an adult and could you please give me your name as well? Thank you! 1. Where were you when you heard the news? 2. What images stick in your mind from 9/11? 3. What was your first reaction? 4. How has your life been altered because of 9/11? 5. Do you fear any other attack? Why? 6. Did you know of anyone that was in New York City on 9/11? 7. What were your thoughts back then about terrorists back then compared to today? 8. What do you remember the most about that day? 9. Do you think that 9/11 could have been prevented? 10. Do you think America is stronger as a nation since 9/11? Why?
IGC? people who went there or know information about it please answer! (10 points!)?
I was considering going to international gymnastics camp this summer for a week or two possibly with my friend, and i had a few questions. If you could answer all of them that would be amazing :) i would really appreciate it if you could answer because i am really curious about this camp. and please be as detailed as possible. thankss 1. what is the skill screening like? I know they test you on the first day to see what you can do, but what is the process like? 2. What is the dance part like? How many times a week do you take dance classes and for how long? What type of dance is it? If i am a competitive dancer will the dance classes be really easy or boring? Is it a gymnastics type of dance if that makes any sense? Or is it like real dancing? (i mean like is it more like gymnasticsy with dance moves in it or is it like a real dance class?) 3. Are 50% of the campers really beginners? 4. I am in high school and i think im a level 3/4. Will i be with really little kids?? 5. would i be able to sneak my phone there? I know you're not supposed to so don't tell me that, but I really want to bring my phone. Do they like look through your bags or anything? Would i be able to hide it? 6. Is this camp too much for someone who is not a competitive gymnast? I heard that if you're not like totally obsessed with gymnastics then you shouldn't go. Is that true? 7. Does everyone wear leotards? Since i only did recreational gymnastics i never owned a leotard. I really don't want to buy one because they can be expensive and i have to pay for it myself. Is there any substitute for a leotard, like a sugarlip tanktop ( a tight tank top) and shorts? Will i be the only one without a leotard? 8. Did you have any experiences at international gymnastics camp that you would like to share? thanks sooo much for everyone who answers it really means to much to me <3 ill give 10 points to the best answer

Experienced astral projectors. Why isn't astral projection more mainstream?
Nobody is trying to hide anything. Everyone has heard of heard of this 'ability' and anyone can look it up any time they want. If there was a government conspiracy to hide and stifle information on the topic, why were you able to find out about it so easily? The fact is there's nothing to hide. Astral projection isn't fake, but it's not what the new age spiritualists claim it is either. It's a form of transcendental meditation, like that practised in yoga or kung fu (neither of which are any secret), and that's all it is. Nobody actually leaves their body when they do it, it just feels that way. New agers are rather famous for stealing ideas from other religions and taking them literally. If out-of-body travel was real, you can bet that more people would do it. Think of the money the CIA, MI5, CSIS and KGB (or whatever they're called now) could save if it were possible. No more physical spying to gather intel, they could just go into astral form and attend secret meetings completely undetected. But that doesn't happen, does it? Here's a way to find out how real astral projection is. Find someone who claims they can do it (which isn't hard) and conduct an experiment with them. It has to be someone who knows where you live but doesn't have access to your house. On three mutually-agreed dates, you'll leave a book (different book each day) on your bed while you're in school all day. Or all night, that's just as good. They have to tell you, without physically going into your house (and with 100% accuracy) which book it is each time. That will prove beyond a doubt that their claims are for real. It couldn't get any simpler than that. If someone can really travel outside of their body, that little test would be no problem at all. You're giving them an exact location, an insultingly simple task, and hours at a time to complete it. For anyone with that ability, it's a dead giveaway. But then listen to the line of excuses when they can't complete the challenge. Guaranteed, they'll tell you it's not that simple and it doesn't work like that. Well if it doesn't work like that, how exactly does it work? Do you have to leave the books somewhere in the astral world for them to find? And where exactly is that? Sorry to disappoint you, but there's your answer. Astral projection is a state of mind, not an actual out of body experience.
