admitting you don’t understand

norm: when it is like this, it is good to do some things (see more)

At some times it can be like this:

A student doesn’t know something. They can’t think how they can know it. They want to know it.

When it is like this, it is good if this student thinks like this: I can say 'I don’t know it' to the teacher. If I say this, no one will think something bad about me. If I say this, the teacher can say 'This is how you can know it'. The teacher wants to say this. This is good.
