Some students are quiet not because they’re unengaged or unprepared but because they value the discussion so much that they’re willing to contribute only their most urgent and fully thought-out ideas.
It’s taken me, a talkative person, a long time to realize that.

In person, except with my very closest friends, I generally don’t say anything unless these two conditions are met:
1) I am 99% sure what I am saying is correct.
2) I can back up my argument with facts and citations.
Otherwise, why bother making mouth noises when you don’t know something? It just wastes everyone’s time and harms the more gullible.
