    Kudos to the girl asking the questions, thumbs down to the rest of the class judging them, especially the teacher.

    This girl is so awesome. I think it is terrible that a teacher of all people would be upset that a student is asking questions. Whether or not the questions were for her the teacher should have just answered the questions. This is why people have so much social anxiety: because they are afraid of being judged.

    Maybe if so many questions were being asked, the TEACHER should have asked THEMSELVES where they were going wrong that a student *needed* to ask so many questions, instead of ridiculing a student and assuming that they were stupid. A teacher's job is to *teach*, and help their students understand what is being taught, right? I feel like some teachers forget that fact.
