69 -A Burden Shared is a Burden Halved

This evening, I called on Student A to answer a question ("Make a sentence with the word 'region', please.") A look of terror crosses Student A's face as he clearly has no idea what the word "region" means, but rather than humbly admit his ignorance... he reaches out and whacks his friend on the arm. No reason or provocation. He just thought he'd share his difficulty with his friend. If that isn't just the story of human interaction?
