A primary school teacher in China has been praised online for a clever way of helping an introverted pupil interact with his classmates.
The teacher organised a lucky draw for her second-grade students to decide whether they would play outside for the rest of the class or stay inside and 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, indicating that they could play. When the teacher asked him to display the result to his classmates, the whole room erupted with delight, happy they could go outside.
But the teacher had actually guaranteed that the boy would pick a blank piece by making sure all the papers were blank.
