Wanted: Advice from CS teachers

When teaching a group of students new to coding I've noticed that my students who are normally very good about not calling out during class will shout "it's not working!" the moment their code hits an error and fails to run. They want me to fix it right away. This makes for too many interruptions since I'm easy to nerd snipe in this way.

I think I need to let them know that fixing errors that keep the code from running is literally what I'm trying to teach.
