• teachers find the opinions of students on the topic of essays, truthfully some find them invalid
• the judgement makes people so reluctant to come forward or tell the truth
• "if anyone else can do it, you should too" students believe which pressures them with more stress of living up to teacher's expectations
• according to studies, anxiety in our culture has increased so much in recent decades!
• "Fast forward to 2019. Students' lives, experiences, and feelings are complicated and intense."
• essay means attempt or try
• our job is to understand others and in turn make ourselves understood 
• when we write essays, it's really to try and get our audience to understand us

Today's Post

When the author is in the room, I think I do read and/or discuss the text differently because I feel like I have to show them that I am also capable of speaking for myself out loud with the same word choices/usage like they use, professionally.
