After class
You ask a teacher a question after class. They say, "Not now, I have another class coming in."
What could you do next?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
Okay. When is a good time? Or can I email it?
A strong fit
Accepts the no and asks for a time or a channel, so the question is not lost.
Okay, I will ask tomorrow.
Also works here
Accepts the no. You choose when to come back.
Ask it anyway, quickly.
Worth a second look
This pushes past "not now". The class is still coming in.
What people here usually expect
- Teachers say "not now" between lessons a lot. It is about time, not you.
- Email or the school platform is a normal way to ask a question later.
- Asking "when is a good time?" is a grown-up question teachers respect.
Your words
Write one reply to a teacher who cannot talk now, asking when or how you could ask.
In the app you write one line here and it lands in your lines. Nothing is graded.
The move this moment practises: After a “not now”.
