00:00:10.018 --> 00:00:11.074
When I was growing up none of the boys wanted
00:00:11.084 --> 00:00:12.091
to read in front of the class
00:00:13.998 --> 00:00:15.035
because they weren't good at it
00:00:15.045 --> 00:00:16.075
They weren't trying to be defiant
00:00:16.085 --> 00:00:19.075
They just didn't wanna be embarrassed
00:00:19.085 --> 00:00:21.045
These children will never grow
00:00:21.055 --> 00:00:23.076
if we don't push them out of their comfort zones
00:00:23.086 --> 00:00:26.066
I'd rather encourage than push
00:00:26.076 --> 00:00:28.026
Excuse me I just think
00:00:28.036 --> 00:00:30.000
it can be traumatizing to force a kid
00:00:30.001 --> 00:00:32.005
to read in front of the class if they're not ready
00:00:34.057 --> 00:00:37.007
I respect your opinion
00:00:37.017 --> 00:00:38.004

00:00:38.005 --> 00:00:40.044
to criticize how we do things here
00:00:40.054 --> 00:00:43.998

I wanna work here
00:00:45.021 --> 00:00:46.078
but I also wanna express myself
00:00:46.088 --> 00:00:48.051
and if I can't do that then
00:00:48.061 --> 00:00:51.095
Then maybe you're not the right person for the job
00:00:52.997 --> 00:00:54.095
