      @JOJO I mean by asking each individual so that they would feel more comfortable answering as the teacher approached them. If the teacher just said does everyone understand out loud, then if they didn't understand they would stand out as the one who doesn't know, while if the teacher comes to them they would be more comfortable sharing their problem
