    #mnlead A1) introverts are the quiet ones and will only talk to you one on one and you will need to initiate convos

    A1. Introverted students might be overwhelmed with demands to participate in large group discussion. #mnlead

    Couldn't agree with you more Trevan. I feel the need to recharge without considering myself an introvert. #mnlead

    Exactly. And this may be perceived as not interested or engaged...which is probably not accurate. #mnlead

    A1 Schools by #s, design, and structure may overwhelm those that find creativity in other ways. Likely why they unplug more at home. #mnlead

    Is school geared, in general, for extroverted or more social kids? #mnlead

    Generally, yes. And often reported back as concerning with terms like "anti-social", "loner", and "shy". #mnlead

    A1 S's can seem disengaged but really just avoiding having to share. #hopdina #MNlead
  • TrevanDThomas Nov 6 @ 8:18 PM EST
    That is a good question. It really depends on if the classroom is teacher-oriented or not. #mnlead
