Student X: (Reading out loud from text) “Last night, I saw a deer drink from the river bank.” Student Y: “Why would a deer go to the bank?” This is an actual conversation overheard between two of my former students last year. While at first I just thought it was funny and maybe Student Y wasn’t really paying attention, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this happens all the time with my young readers.

He’s tried to explain that it’s to make lessons fairer so it’s not always the same people answering questions. His students are clearly finding it difficult to break their old habits and Brad is deliberately ignoring those who put their hands up and targeting his questions at students who don’t.
