Is this an appropriate sentence

Hi teachers,
Is this an appropriate sentence? 'Let the students speak, but not me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, It's correct grammar, but it would require some very uncommon context to make sense. What do you mean? Can you say it another way?

Hi,

I suggest
I think it would be better if you asked the students.

Your version sounds too abrupt.

I would answer: The students seemed to get a lot out of the class, but that's my impression. Why don't you ask some of them?
