Well, in my school atleast, I find that two of my teachers that let us talk a lot, are the ones who have the highest performers/classes with almost everyone with finished homework. In my Spanish class, every Monday or Tuesday when we meet, in Spanish the teachers talks with each person asking what they did over the weekend, same on Thursday or Friday whenever we meet. And each day we do activities that helps us understand new concepts (Spanish III) with whomever we choose in the class. Almost every student finishes the homework, even the ones who you'd never expect to do the work. One kid who usually gets a C or lower in every class, actually started working for just this class now. He scored a 76/75 on a test!
My math teacher, lets us talk whenever and usually talks along with us. Like if we crack a joke or something, she'll just add on to make it funnier rather than putting us up in the front or something.
Today, we asked about the posters hung up from the previous year and when we'll do those. She said second semester, and we'll have 6 weeks to do them. The kid on my left was talking about how much work it'll be and the class was listening, so I responded telling him thats what we have google for. 🙂 The teacher just said something else about keeping an eye on my papers which was funny too.
Last year, my Spanish teacher made us do activites quietly and on our own. I still got the A, but half the class didn't do their work. I really think now-a-days the amount of freedom to an extent teachers give is pretty positive.
BTW, this is in regards to High School 10th grade classes of mine...
