Linda Christensen talks about how teachers don't take the time to make sure students don't feel left out and don't feel socially awkward. Students in today's world tend to hide their thoughts through writing things down. The catch is, they don't write all their thoughts down, they write what they think is good enough or just enough not to get criticized too much. Christensen expresses her own experiences growing up as a child while she suffered with not being able to pronounce the word lawyer.
I like the fact that Christensen can relate to what she is talking about, and it helps me believe in what she says because she shares a personal experience. I completely agree with her claims that she has made. I do believe that some teachers are too careless right now. They always try to correct you in a manner that isn't aware of your feelings. Although I have never experienced feeling left out because I couldn't say something right or know how to spell or write something wrong all the time, I can still see where she is coming from.
