"I mean, like, suppose you're studying tidal forces. You don't raise your hand to ask if it's true that crazy people tend to be crazier during the full moon."

This quote really struck me as interesting because it is very true. Most of the time, if you ask and off topic question, you will be looked at as if you are an outsider or you are crazy. You may also be looked at as if you were not paying attention to the topic. If you ask a question that the teacher has a hard time answering, you also will be shunned upon... This was very true at my old middle school.
