There is this girl in my economic class who:
1) wastes 20-25 mins of class time asking questions because she doesn't bother reading the textbook
2) needs the teacher to repeat to her the information 2-3 times each lesson
3) is allowed to hand in her essays late because she doesn't "understand" the question asked
4) because of her irrelevant questions, has hindered the whole class from moving forward

She doesn't have mental disabilities (she's quite smart) but just enjoys acting stupid....and is possibly just seeking attention
To the horror of our class she has decided to go on with economics in year 12 and we are really worried... should we talk to the teacher? or just leave it?
And also..if you are someone that shares the same traits as mentioned above.. Why would you do this to the whole class?
Welcome to my world there is a guy in my physics and chemistry class just like that....only thing to do independant learning.... you just have to live with it and go on, though on a positive note independant learning is far more productive that learning in class and by learning ahead and then just confirming after class is better for you...

it is bad when a student is like that.. in our skool, there is a teacher who forgot he got a lesson 4times, and neva teach anything from the syllabus.. and forgot to give bak test papers..

and he took half a lesson to mark rolls..etc.etc

now the whole class is self-study. =\

There are so many girls at my school that ask if they need to start a new page or "is this a title?" For fucks sake, can't you make decisions without guidence?

I kinda share the same traits, but im not that bad. The questions i ask are usually ones that only need like about 10 seconds to answer. I dont ask many questions, i just ask about 2 or 3 per lesson. Maybe people ask a lot of questions because they just want to make sure that they understand everything. I dont feel comfortable asking too many questions because it might annoy my classmates. I just ask when its necessary.

i'd talk to the teacher and if they dont do something go over them to the head teacher and so on until you get a result you are happy with

I used to get that in year 8, you would have hoped people would have learned to think for themselves by the time they're legally allowed to drive to the supermarket and buy a knife.

Almost as bad is the people who ask all the time "Is this going to be in the exam?"

This especially makes me angry in maths. You don't learn anything that won't be in the exam, which is established early in the year.

With regards to "too many questions" - i'm one that asks a shitload of questions in class (esp histories/english), but teachers tell me they're questions that need answering anyway, and often explore areas of a concept/text that they weren't leading to.

A few students in my english class once said something about it (they weren't happy how I virtually talked more than the teacher, esp in transformations), which kind of shocked me. But after chatting with the teacher, who encouraged me to keep on asking, I got over it and made sure I didn't interrupt too much.

So my advice is: talk to the girl in question. Make sure she knows it's annoying you. If she doesn't change, talk to a head teacher.

nup, actually, i would say that they're worse at uni than in high school. and nobody cares - you've just got to get on and live with it. independent study is the key. or ask a question of your own to get the teacher back on track and talking about what you feel you should be learning

OMG i hate that so much...its even better when they follow it with "whats the date?" especially when its clearly written up there for all and sundry to see. its ok to ask if you really dont know but come on...it says it right there!!!!!!
