        Sure, how? Engagement is a tricky thing, and kids “cheat” on homework and look up answers. Hearing from a student in class is the best way for me to see their thought process.

          Is there a reason you can’t simply keep this child in for a few minutes when everyone is on recess to ask them what they’re struggling with?

            Because I don’t know their struggling until I hear their thought process. Hell, they usually don’t know they’re misunderstanding things until they start trying to explain the concepts I’m asking them about. Which is why I want to hear from every student periodically.

            -edit- also I teach older kids. No recess.
