Can a teacher call a student?
When a student misbehaves, teachers cannot assault the character of that student. And, even though they might use derogatory names at home or with their friends, students should never expect to hear those words from their teachers. Being a role model is a difficult and important part of teaching.
How do you call random students?
Answer or Echo Pose a question to the class and randomly call on a student. If the student struggles to answer, offer him the choice to “answer or echo.” If he cannot come up with an answer he then has the option to “echo,” by standing up and selecting someone else to answer. Or he can ask you to choose someone else.
