In the Netherlands we sometimes encounter that there is no interaction (between teacher and children) at certain times. Sometimes they watch a movie in silence, eat in silence or play outside and the teachers just chat with each other. Would you or would you not observe these moments?

Very low scoring situations, for sure.  Teachers need to pause and allow children time to process and formulate responses, but teachers should be using all the opportunities available for supporting children's learning and building relationships through verbal interaction!
