I have a wangtta in one of my fifth grade classes. She clearly comes from a very poor home and has a malnourished look about her, and is frequently unwashed. She’s a little slow, although she’s quite sweet. Group and pair-work is hell for her. Other students will refuse to be on her team or read a dialogue with her. “Teacher, my partner is very dirty,” a student told me, when I instructed him to work with her. The casual cruelty of it was shocking to me. I initially tried to force other students to include her, but this was horrible for her – it drew attention to her, which made her freeze in fear. These days I just read the dialogue with her individually, and skip past her when asking the class to read their dialogues.

Her teacher does what she can, but I’m not sure what the solution is. However, this does bring up what I think is another problem, and a reason why some teachers can be oblivious or can ignore these students: they lack charisma. They are generally not cute and sweet, and teachers, humans too, have a tendency to prefer the charismatic students, as do their students.

This is something of which I’m trying to be more conscious. A resolution for next year is to make sure I know the name of every wangtta in my class, and do what I can for them.

I don't know if this movie was filmed years ago and was just released, but a Nintendo Wii is very outdated. It's a console from around 2006-2007! Would've looked better if it was a Wii U, but then that console was also not very popular and may confuse some people in the audience.

That father must've been really out of touch to buy that old Nintendo system. Unless the movie itself was meant to take place about 10 years ago from today...
