No Response

Matthew 15:23 - But Jesus did not answer her a word (at all). The disciples came up to him entreating, "Loose her, for she is crying out behind us."

Lots of questions! Why doesn't Jesus answer? Does he acknowledge her at all? Are they walking or has he stopped? If walking, is she following them? The disciples are clearly uneasy about Jesus reaction. And ask him to take care of it - not for her sake - no, for they are embarrassed that she is calling attention to them. They do not give "because she is hurting" as a reason; only that she keeps calling out.
What would I do in their place?
