A teacher in China used a lucky draw to help a shy boy gain cheers and laughter from his classmates. Photo: 163.comA primary school teacher in China has been praised online for a clever way of helping an introverted pupil.
The teacher organised a lucky draw for her second-grade students to decide whether they would play outside for the rest of class or continue the lesson.
The teacher intentionally chose a shy boy to represent the class. The boy appeared to be in a daze for a few seconds before standing up from his seat and walking towards the front of the classroom. He seemed nervous at first, but became more relaxed as his classmates encouraged him.
The child drew a blank piece of paper. When the teacher asked him to display the result to his classmates, the whole room erupted with delight, happy that they could play.
But the teacher had actually guaranteed that the boy would pick a blank lot by making sure all the pieces of paper had nothing on them.
