I completely agree with you on everything that you said.
This was my favorite reading
that we have done so far too because I also felt that she was talking directly to us. The majority of students do not like to write and she directed it to these students very well. I have always been a math person myself and she said it right when she talked about how it was so much easier to have a straight right or wrong answer. It is difficult when writing because there are so many different answers that could be right or wrong.
