The teacher is concerned with Janet's latency, which refers to the length of time between the teacher giving an instruction and Janet starting to work on the task. Janet's wandering around the room, looking for materials, and waving to her friend show a high level of latency, and the teacher may need to provide additional support to help Janet start tasks more quickly.
