Can anyone who is or used to be a teacher answer this?

what do you think of the really quiet shy kids? Also do you ever look up students facebooks or twitters just to see what their like outside of school or anything?

Shyness is a personality trait, not a fault. Some of the nicest people I've ever known are shy. These persons tend to be attentive listeners, private people who exude a welcome presence even without saying a word. Therefore, I tend to like my shy students. I may call on them and try to get them involved a little but I usually really like them.

I have a soft spot for my shy students because I was very shy myself as a child. I do my best to bring them out and help them become more participating members of the class. I try to give them tools to succeed socially.

My students are too young to have social networking accounts.
