 Re: Where is the fine line?
If it's an obvious over-sight, like a misspelling or simple omition, I'll mention it in class. Especialy if it's on the board for students to copy down.
In your example the teacher was intentionally teaching something and I would address something like that after class. It could be that the teacher told them in Japanese to answer via the short test form they'll be required to use for the high school tests. But it might be worth mentioning that the teacher's dismissal of perfectly fine/communicative answers underminds what you are trying to accomplish in classes.
I think it may also depend on the other teacher as well. Some teachers are welcoming in regards to those types of comments and value that sort of help. Others find it very offensive and feel shamed in front of their class. |
