If you talk too much or too little in class the teacher will…

work with you and others to ensure respectful, active participation

It depends on the teacher and the context in which you are speaking or not speaking in class. However, generally speaking:

If you talk too much in class, the teacher may:

1. Ask you to stop talking or reduce your speaking time in order to give other students a chance to participate.
2. Give you a lower participation grade if your talking time is not contributing to the learning and engagement of the class.
3. Interpret your excessive talking as a way to avoid listening to others or as a sign of lack of respect for your classmates or the teacher.

If you talk too little in class, the teacher may:

1. Try to engage you in the class by asking you direct questions, giving you specific tasks or inviting you to share your thoughts.
2. Assume that you are not interested in the class or that you don’t understand the material.
3. Give you a lower participation grade if you consistently fail to contribute to class discussions or activities.

The important thing is to strike a balance between listening and speaking in class, and to be mindful and respectful of the needs and opinions of others.
