Language is everywhere, it is what connects us. We should not let people who nitpick our use of language discourage us from using our voices. Whether someone uses language to protest or simply sends their friend a letter, we should encourage them and not tear them down.
@annasellers201 I think as their writing gets better we should point out more and more things that they can improve upon, but if we can tell the stduent is starting to get discouraged we should step back and continue with the positive reinforcement. #396FlynnS23
