DD recently shared that in an enrichment school situation where a special topic that she knows a great deal about was being discussed, she chose not to raise her hand most of the time, to let other kids have a chance. (She knew she knew the answers.) DH praised her for being mature and thinking of others. I disagreed with his comments. I'm curious what you all think. Let's say your child is the one who could raise his or her hand...every time. What do we think of that child's behavior? Should he or she think of others and "chill out" sometimes, or not?
As an aside, my DS added to this conversation that he sometimes chooses not to raise his hand after he answers a few times because he knows his teacher won't call on him any more. I felt this was slightly different. Maybe.
