Also, generally when you answer an easier question voluntarily earlier on in the class it seems like your far less likely to be called on later on a question you donât know
Another good way is to answer as many questions you know as possible. This lowers your odds because the teacher will likely want to âgive someone else a turn to answerâ.
I accidentally did that while trying to farm grades from them. Ended up with the teacher telling me to not give out the answer to the others after 3 months.
âShow that you are engaged and not available to answerâ My teacher when she sees anyone doing that: â HEY LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TALK! AS A PUNISHMENT ANSWER MY QUESTION!â
When I do this I look back up at the teacher and down at what Iâm doing. Makes it look like you are actively trying to understand while helping yourself. Iâve done this so much that I can write notes without looking at the paper.
I just drop my pencil when my teachers start asking the questions, spend a whole minute looking for said pencil, then grab it when they choose someone else, and now they all think I'm clumsy :')
The best technique is just to drop your pencil or start drinking water. Your teacher wonât want to call on you if youâre drinking water or if youâre on the ground picking up your pencil
Bro I tried the water one, but it didn't work. He called on me when I started drinking, and literally waited for me to finish the entire bottle and said "Alright you done now?"
My Geography teacher would always say out loud "who's been quiet today?" when asking a question then would follow it up with "who isn't making eye contact?" First person to make eye contact got called on đ
It feels so good when you and a few others raise your hand in class, and the teacher picks somebody else to answer and it turns out you actually got it wrong but the teacher just assumes you knew lol. And internally itâs like âthank god that could have been so embarrassingâ
If you have a good teacher or a teacher you generally vibe with it's actually good to get called on if you don't know the answer cause they would actually be helpful
Has anyone else had that moment when the teacher asks a question and u are so eager to answer thinking you know it but then they call on someone else and the person gets a completely different answer than u and itâs correct. That feeling of relief đ„Č
Exactly. The first day the teacher starts calling out people most of my class always skips the day, we were lucky if there was at least 5 people in the classroom.
@Uuuii Jjdfn How does that make them a nerd? Because they're good at something you're probably not? Not trying to sound rude by saying that, but the fact that you're calling them a nerd proves you are jealous that they are good at something that you probably aren't. Please be nice, they're just sharing things about them.
This happened to me on math, most of us who always participate except the "smart one" didn't know that we're supposed to round off the numbers and so did the tr and she called me and I said that I'm still rounding the number off and she said this and took about 3 sec for her to call somebody elseđ€Ł
I remember back in high school we had a chemistry callout session where the teacher would test if we knew the materials we studied by asking questions and calling out on random students. I was a pretty decent student, but I forgot to study that day. I basically rose my hand eagerly and kept eye contact whenever she glanced at me. She didn't call on me once. I might've been lucky but it helped a ton
Tips : usually when the class just started/its early semester study hard so u can answer the teacher question easily because when its early in the semester the question wouldnt be that hard and then the teacher wont pick on you anymore if u stop being so active in the class because they never picked the 'smart' kid when asking a question
The teacher: God, these people are idiotic, good thing that guy over there is reading, might as well ask him the questions to make the class smoother...
Same happened to me. But I was doing my math homework in math class. Itâs not like Iâm doing it before the teacher collects it. No, itâs the homework the teacher assigned for the day. I do it because sheâs boring and Iâm pretty much already done with the class work.
Yeah and in some classes you have to raise your hand and then teacher literally calls on a student how doesn't have their hand raised And they get mad a them but like why would you call on someone who didn't raise their hand if they don't raise their hand its because they don't have the answer so like why
Here's my version: participate in 2 questions you know preferably in a row and look SUPER excited to answer like it's the best thing in your life. Trust me, the third question will come and the teacher will say "that's enough let others answer the question" and leave you alone for the rest of class. I did this for Chemistry and got away all year long by participating in the dumbest questions!!

Fact that everyone can agree: 1- When it's your favorite subject or you know the answer, your teacher will NEVER pick you. 2- When you hate the subject or don't know the answer, your teacher will ALWAYS pick you. Thanks me later.

For the entire first semester of college, in literature I'd always raise my hand and answer the question right but then go on an 8 min rant about random moments from random books and then pick books that have movies and explain how some books are better than the movies and vise versa. After my literature teacher learned the hard way what happens when he picks on me, anytime I raise my hand for anything that's not "may I use the bathroom", he picks literally anyone else no matter how sleepy or busy they are. And that's how I never get picked to answer anything ever.
Thing is with my teacher, she doesnât even look at us when she calls us. She literally looks at her book and randomly calls on one of us. So this wouldnât work for me
This also works in the reverse. If you do know the answer but you're shy and don't want to volunteer, appearing distracted will exponentially increase your chances of getting called on. it's also satisfying for the teacher to call on you thinking you're not paying attention but you are and you know the answer
@@thedoctormaker i know what a pick me is!! i guess i could have used better phrasing but that was the closest word to describe my situation. and also take a chill pill sir
*How teachers interpret it (Probably)* : Eye contact: You probably have an answer but arenât confident in it Looking off into the distance/distracted from the class work: You most likely donât know the answer or what has happened within the past 5 minutes, but Iâll pick you just to slightly embarrass yourself as punishment. Looking at the board, notebook, or other class material: You donât know the answer, but you may still be processing the question. Raised hand: You have an answer/question. 50/50 chance Iâll decide on either calling on you for a quick answer or ignoring you to find someone distracted. Excessively answering questions: Iâm going to stop calling on you because youâre doing too much. Youâre now on the bottom of the question-asking priority list.
I also think they interpret it that way. In my opinion, we're aiming at being in the last case (excessively answering questions) as soon as the school year begin, so that the teacher won't peak you anymore the rest of the year. However, you will not be able to answer questions you know, and btw boost your ego. You can nonetheless confirm your answer (internally) if it was correct while avoiding being a fool if not.
but like the last one, if the entire class doesnt know the answer, he/she will very likely getting picked instead. That's why the last one is a risky move in my oppinion.
@Katelynn Stewart That's usually how it goes though, embarrass a person slightly as punishment for not paying any attention to the class, get an answer from somebody who does know, or the teacher can tell how to do it himself.
I tried that many times and my teacher still called on me because âI looked interested in subject.â Good strategy just make sure not to look to engaged. đ
it's funny when they do that when they require you to take notes but they banned you from using your pencils XD they get like halfway through the lesson, realize nobody has notes, start raging, and then take it out on the students when they said not to use anything. Also, those teachers are ableists. Seriously, I need something to fiddle with, 7th-grade teachers (they were all bad)
I always stare my teacher's in the soul, not just the eyes. I have that one new chemistry teacher. I think I started making him insecure- every time I look him straight in the eyes and he nervously looks to the class an back to me
@@user-ht6ql1rn3w itâs up to the teacher not to pick someone who doesnât wanna answer and/or look embarrassing in front of the whole class, itâs a good trade off if you ask me
hereâs what works for me and what iâve done literally my entire school life so far. the first question they always ask is pretty easy/obvious so i ALWAYS put my hand up for that. since itâs the beginning of the class most people are shy and donât wanna be the first to talk, so i usually get picked. once iâve answered about 2 or 3 easy questions that I volunteer for, i usually wonât get picked on for the rest of the lesson. works every time
My teacher always asks the kids who are distracted but one thing that works is looking for something in your bag or drinking from your water bottle if you donât have notes or anything like that
I always try to participate early in the lesson, like answering an easy question or asking something about the material. This kinda checks me off the list of students to ask as Iâve already participated âșïž
what i hate is that most of students that do this are the smartest in the class, and the ones that end up being questioned with the mid or hardest question are the students who barely understands about the subject. but this doesnt happened to me in college. most of the one who will be questioned are the most participated student. and since im not a very active person, much of a listener, i always got my ass safe in classes (for now).
See thereâs this new teacher at my school who just yells the first person they see which is usually me as I sit in the front of the class. Problem is I donât like going to the smart board or answering in front of 15 people when I know I can get it incorrect which is one of my worst fears yâall got any tips ifiditivueug help
@@deeznutz20203 well if answering Questions itself scares you (I also sit at the front of the Class but I generally don't have this problem) you could try to talk to the Teacher and ask if they could avoid calling on you, or you could talk the school administration about it. My school has this handy thing called an IEP which basically just lists accommodations needed for students, and you could see if Your school has something similar by talking to Administration or a Counselor and seeing if they could put something there about having Social Anxiety and as such the teachers shouldn't call on you in class, talking to the Teacher on the Other hand can get the Issue cleared up right away without having to deal with Admin.
What I do is literally just drink water, it's a good way to make the teacher think you're occupied and they needed to wait before you could answer. And also it's a good way to keep yourself hydrated lol
@@domikawolf really? That's not good. I recommend sending a letter/emailing your principal about that. I do that when I have a concern because it's their job to listen and make adaptions
sorry this is long and pretty irrelevant.. xd only a few students are allowed to drink in my classes (because of medical conditions), us other people are only allowed to drink when we have our first or second small pause (about 7min), only two people are allowed to go to the bathroom during the lessons and in the breaks everyone (and with that I mean every student in the building)has to go outside, the classes get shut down and we just recently got them to not always lock the bathrooms aswell, the cafeteria just recently got shut down for the breaks aswell and the only room not shut in that area is the music room but only a few people are allowed in there (me and my friends are mostly sitting in there because there's way to many people outside that don't even let us use the football space). The ground where we are meant to go in the breaks (10, 15 and 30 minutes) is way to small for all of us, because we are not allowed to use the big grass area next to the woods (when you do go there u have to stay inside in the 30min break and write the house rules). The front part of our school had always been part of our break ground but just about a week ago we got told that no one except the biggest class grade is allowed to go there because us "younger" students are not meant to see the "older" students smoking and drinking (dude I'm old enough, my whole family smokes.. and I have aswell c.c) all that when they literally know who the people are, and they had been smoking and drinking and doing what not already when we were also up there using the football space when we finally got the chance to, but the teachers and others still don't give a fuck. We have literally nothing on the break ground (except the football space in front that we are not allowed to use), actually never mind, we have a table tennis table, but are not able to use it because when we go and ask to have it be open we get shut down and put in Break prison (not allowed to go in break) sorry, lmao
My way of avoiding questions in class: Giving info i know in the beginning and being engaged in the beginning, and then theyll not want to call on you because they will feel you already know everything lol. Because of this, and actually paying attention, im gonna be put in honors classes next year
All you have to do is simply: For the first couple of questions you know, put your hand up! This will make the teacher think that you are doing well in this certain subject, and he will want other people to start answering. Then, KAPOW! You pretty much don't have to answer the question for the entire class. (I have something cooler though. My math teacher actually pulls sticks. When he is teaching, you might get pulled. If you do, you try to just answer the question, and then he'll leave your stick out of the entire class. No more answering questions.)
@@lapplandkun9273 They said put your hand up for the first questions that you âknow.â Pick an easy question or two, answer those, then donât raise your hand for the rest of class. The teacher knows you have already participated, and so wonât call on you.
@@lapplandkun9273 well thatâs wrong because when you never ever raised your hand and itâs the first time the teacher will choose you, and if in the second time you raise your hand the teacher will remember that you didnât answer last time or maybe you didnât answer correct, so she will choose again
This does work. When we were doing an assignment in Geometry, I was working on finishing the bonus questions since I had already finished the main ones. When the teacher started explaining the main ones and no one raised their hand, the teacher called on a lot of other kids but not me.
good thing this works alot. plus my teacher almost always picks the others since they're like the flash when it comes to questions with choices, but when it comes to the teacher questioning us without choices after making us read something on the tv, my classmates are silent even after getting chosen to answer because they dont remember what they just read a few seconds ago.

Any other class: as much as I would hate to have to say it with everyone else listening, I probably know the answer and if I do get called on itâs not the end of the world
Uhm, hi, Iâm uncultured. Whatâs a jotter??
@@ks_muj I assume it is a place where you jot things down, like a notebook.
@LuvisĂ© like Mira said, I feel itâs probably non-American slang for a notepad or something of the like. I learned something today too lmao
@@mikeweimer4783 lmao itâs not slang. Itâs just the same way youâd say notebook. Itâs just British (European) English and not American
Love how the people in the replies are talking about âjottersâ like itâs such a rare thing and itâs so fascinating. Not making fun, just find it funny lol.
My teacher if I'd do that : WHY ARE YOU DOING SOMETHING ELSE WHILE I'M ASKING SOMETHING???!!
when your teacher just spin a wheel with all of the students numbers in it
the students: "sh*t, here we go again"
All the strats are viable until the teacher uses the randomizer. Then, you can only pray to RNGesus not to be picked.
When bad handwriting finally pays off.
I remember my teacher used to draw our names from a cup. I stole my name from the cup :)

I used this exact tactic during my SST class as I was trying to just skim through the lines but didn't get a single thing.
Fact that everyone can agree:
1- When it's your favorite subject or you know the answer, your teacher will NEVER pick you.
2- When you hate the subject or don't know the answer, your teacher will ALWAYS pick you.
Thanks me later.

Too true to the point where it hurts

For the entire first semester of college, in literature I'd always raise my hand and answer the question right but then go on an 8 min rant about random moments from random books and then pick books that have movies and explain how some books are better than the movies and vise versa. After my literature teacher learned the hard way what happens when he picks on me, anytime I raise my hand for anything that's not "may I use the bathroom", he picks literally anyone else no matter how sleepy or busy they are. And that's how I never get picked to answer anything ever.
Wow đđđ»đđ»
This is such a devious plan. I love ti
bruh
Your professor made you ask to go to the restroom at your collegeâŠdamn
but you still end up looking dumb right? when you rant that way
Thing is with my teacher, she doesnât even look at us when she calls us. She literally looks at her book and randomly calls on one of us. So this wouldnât work for me
Just say, âIâm still working on itâ or something along the lines of that. Or say idk
I hate when I donât say I donât know, I get really embarrassed
@@GiraffeGiraffeGiraffeGiraffe then be prepared, work hard to save yourself from the embarrassment

I said I have no idea and in a high pitched voice
Funny how I recently realised this on my own lol.
That is what I usually do when the teacher says "Okay class, who wants to answer the next question?"
This also works in the reverse. If you do know the answer but you're shy and don't want to volunteer, appearing distracted will exponentially increase your chances of getting called on. it's also satisfying for the teacher to call on you thinking you're not paying attention but you are and you know the answer
oop i thought i was the only one who did thisđ i know the answer most of the time but i donât want to be a pick me

What the actual fuck who is your teacher
@@slashslash501 had a few like these it was fucking horrible
Iâve had hella teachers like thatđđ
Lol its bc we are trained to do that and when we get evaluated it comes up đ
Unless everyone hates that teacher and thinks itâs funny to ignore them/talk louder
The line, Show that you are engaged but not available to answer is perfect for so many scenarios
*How teachers interpret it (Probably)* :
Eye contact: You probably have an answer but arenât confident in it
Looking off into the distance/distracted from the class work: You most likely donât know the answer or what has happened within the past 5 minutes, but Iâll pick you just to slightly embarrass yourself as punishment.
Looking at the board, notebook, or other class material: You donât know the answer, but you may still be processing the question.
Raised hand: You have an answer/question. 50/50 chance Iâll decide on either calling on you for a quick answer or ignoring you to find someone distracted.
Excessively answering questions: Iâm going to stop calling on you because youâre doing too much. Youâre now on the bottom of the question-asking priority list.
I also think they interpret it that way. In my opinion, we're aiming at being in the last case (excessively answering questions) as soon as the school year begin, so that the teacher won't peak you anymore the rest of the year. However, you will not be able to answer questions you know, and btw boost your ego. You can nonetheless confirm your answer (internally) if it was correct while avoiding being a fool if not.
but like the last one, if the entire class doesnt know the answer, he/she will very likely getting picked instead. That's why the last one is a risky move in my oppinion.
@Katelynn Stewart That's usually how it goes though, embarrass a person slightly as punishment for not paying any attention to the class, get an answer from somebody who does know, or the teacher can tell how to do it himself.
That....thats mostly likely actually true...
@Katelynn Stewart I feel like teachers do that to get their attention and make them focus up more so they don't get called again. It works tbh.
"the teacher pick one in the index card"
The eye contact worked for me
I tried that many times and my teacher still called on me because âI looked interested in subject.â Good strategy just make sure not to look to engaged. đ
Hm.. i did the same as well. đ
Exactly! đ
it works at my school!
these are useless when the teacher says "Alright everyone, no pencils, no books, and no writing! It's time for recitation!"
edit: what the hell
Haven't had that in 13 years of school
it's funny when they do that when they require you to take notes but they banned you from using your pencils XD they get like halfway through the lesson, realize nobody has notes, start raging, and then take it out on the students when they said not to use anything.
Also, those teachers are ableists. Seriously, I need something to fiddle with, 7th-grade teachers (they were all bad)
âŠ.never heard it recitation in my life
Never said no tying your shoes :)
Ya when itâs a test I already did this since Iâm a slow writer and it actually works most of the time I rarely get called on
I always look at my backpack and pretend to be trying to find/get something from it when I want to not participate. It always works.
That is what i do when the teacher asks the class a question lol.
Meanwhile my teacher: ill call people who is not looking at me
Everyone: panicking and start making eye contact*
Just say why you ask me i didnt raise my hand.
Luv your pfpá( á )á
"You should participate when you know the answer."

@@user-ht6ql1rn3w itâs up to the teacher not to pick someone who doesnât wanna answer and/or look embarrassing in front of the whole class, itâs a good trade off if you ask me
hereâs what works for me and what iâve done literally my entire school life so far. the first question they always ask is pretty easy/obvious so i ALWAYS put my hand up for that. since itâs the beginning of the class most people are shy and donât wanna be the first to talk, so i usually get picked. once iâve answered about 2 or 3 easy questions that I volunteer for, i usually wonât get picked on for the rest of the lesson. works every time
Yep the teacher is memorising who is lazy, get abit of effort out of the way and you won't be asked apon
Well my teacher knows who all are too lazy to put their hands up for a question so she always them first
wait you can actually answer questions-?
POV: the teacher never calls me because I know the answers all the time đ itâs funnnnn
@Spread Helpful Comments The irony of your username...
I usually just drink water and that has worked most of the time; water in mouth means canât talk at the moment
My teacher always asks the kids who are distracted but one thing that works is looking for something in your bag or drinking from your water bottle if you donât have notes or anything like that
I always try to participate early in the lesson, like answering an easy question or asking something about the material. This kinda checks me off the list of students to ask as Iâve already participated âșïž
what i hate is that most of students that do this are the smartest in the class, and the ones that end up being questioned with the mid or hardest question are the students who barely understands about the subject.
but this doesnt happened to me in college. most of the one who will be questioned are the most participated student. and since im not a very active person, much of a listener, i always got my ass safe in classes (for now).
Yup thatâs exactly what I do!
@@shiberu_7s you have some really kind teachers đ€Ł

@@deeznutz20203 well if answering Questions itself scares you (I also sit at the front of the Class but I generally don't have this problem) you could try to talk to the Teacher and ask if they could avoid calling on you, or you could talk the school administration about it. My school has this handy thing called an IEP which basically just lists accommodations needed for students, and you could see if Your school has something similar by talking to Administration or a Counselor and seeing if they could put something there about having Social Anxiety and as such the teachers shouldn't call on you in class, talking to the Teacher on the Other hand can get the Issue cleared up right away without having to deal with Admin.

@@domikawolf really? That's not good. I recommend sending a letter/emailing your principal about that. I do that when I have a concern because it's their job to listen and make adaptions
sorry this is long and pretty irrelevant.. xd
only a few students are allowed to drink in my classes (because of medical conditions), us other people are only allowed to drink when we have our first or second small pause (about 7min), only two people are allowed to go to the bathroom during the lessons and in the breaks everyone (and with that I mean every student in the building)has to go outside, the classes get shut down and we just recently got them to not always lock the bathrooms aswell, the cafeteria just recently got shut down for the breaks aswell and the only room not shut in that area is the music room but only a few people are allowed in there (me and my friends are mostly sitting in there because there's way to many people outside that don't even let us use the football space).
The ground where we are meant to go in the breaks (10, 15 and 30 minutes) is way to small for all of us, because we are not allowed to use the big grass area next to the woods (when you do go there u have to stay inside in the 30min break and write the house rules). The front part of our school had always been part of our break ground but just about a week ago we got told that no one except the biggest class grade is allowed to go there because us "younger" students are not meant to see the "older" students smoking and drinking (dude I'm old enough, my whole family smokes.. and I have aswell c.c) all that when they literally know who the people are, and they had been smoking and drinking and doing what not already when we were also up there using the football space when we finally got the chance to, but the teachers and others still don't give a fuck. We have literally nothing on the break ground (except the football space in front that we are not allowed to use), actually never mind, we have a table tennis table, but are not able to use it because when we go and ask to have it be open we get shut down and put in Break prison (not allowed to go in break)
sorry, lmao

It only really works if you NORMALLY answer, but if you rarely answer and they see you want to engage they will call on you
Doesn't always work. What if the teacher picks on you?đ
All you have to do is simply:
For the first couple of questions you know, put your hand up! This will make the teacher think that you are doing well in this certain subject, and he will want other people to start answering. Then, KAPOW! You pretty much don't have to answer the question for the entire class.
(I have something cooler though. My math teacher actually pulls sticks. When he is teaching, you might get pulled. If you do, you try to just answer the question, and then he'll leave your stick out of the entire class. No more answering questions.)
That's not going to work. They might call on you simply because of the fact your raising your hand and you're doing so first
@@lapplandkun9273 Exactly. Listen to yourself. I just said that.
@@lapplandkun9273 They said put your hand up for the first questions that you âknow.â Pick an easy question or two, answer those, then donât raise your hand for the rest of class. The teacher knows you have already participated, and so wonât call on you.
for me im literally the only one who my teacher calls online simply because no one has their camera or their mic on
@@lapplandkun9273 well thatâs wrong because when you never ever raised your hand and itâs the first time the teacher will choose you, and if in the second time you raise your hand the teacher will remember that you didnât answer last time or maybe you didnât answer correct, so she will choose again
This does work. When we were doing an assignment in Geometry, I was working on finishing the bonus questions since I had already finished the main ones. When the teacher started explaining the main ones and no one raised their hand, the teacher called on a lot of other kids but not me.
good thing this works alot. plus my teacher almost always picks the others since they're like the flash when it comes to questions with choices, but when it comes to the teacher questioning us without choices after making us read something on the tv, my classmates are silent even after getting chosen to answer because they dont remember what they just read a few seconds ago.
