Gadol, I don’t understand what you are saying- are you saying that there is no place for a bright kid to ask a challenging question because it might disrupt the flow of the lesson, and that just doing so is chutzpadik? But what are bright kids supposed to do when they have questions? Resort to finding answers online? The only “question” that we ignore is one from the Rasha, who is not really asking a question, but has an agenda to shove. Is that what you are talking about? It didn’t sound like it from your description. I don’t think any legitimate question, from any kid should be pushed aside and labeled chutzpa. No question coming from intellectual honesty or curiosity should be thought of as a disruption. If the teacher can’t handle it during class time, he should discuss it- or have someone else discuss it if it is beyond his league- with the student after class. Kid should not be expelled for that!
