I've been reading with great interest on everyone's experience in these
matters. I'm eager to try them in my class. I wonder if they'll work in a
culture where communication in the classroom is discouraged from 1st grade on?
This goes beyond normal reluctance to express oneself, it's almost taboo to
vocalize in the classroom.
