More than one right answer?

This article definitely shed some light into some of my Chinese students' behaviors in class. They are much more comfortable in math where typically there is a right answer and a wrong answer, but even if I offer them options as for how to solve the problems, they are uncomfortable and ask me which is the right one for them to use. In language arts, when discussing (simple) texts and making inferences about characters and themes and giving opinions, it definitely takes them longer to develop answers, than if I ask them to sequence events from the story. Their behaviors make a lot more sense now.
