Some students may understand a topic and some of the other students may not, but those students that do not understand the lesson might either be too shy or too scared to say anything. Those same students too shy or scared might not say anything or ask a question in fear that the students that do get the lesson might make fun of them.

Also, sometimes being in a classroom with other people can help students.
