The essay "Teaching Standard English: Whose Stander" by Linda Christensen, is an essay about how students are told they are not correct in the way they speak or write. People are taught to only write about their problems and ideas in the way some particular people believe it to be true. This is not only wrong, but a hinderance on creativity.
I understood this essay a lot. I believe that I am a good writer when I am doing something I enjoy. Yet people have told me before to revise my writing style and to write more like them. I do not believe this to be true at all. My writing style is unique and should be appreciated.
