Here is a short video of Linda Furiya. She is reading a book that she wrote on her upbringings as a child and her experience of living in a household with a non-American parent who didn’t know how to speak English well. She reads a part of her book about having dinner one night with her family and how her mom got upset at her for making fun of her accent. Linda realized how bad she hurt her mom and related it to when she was teased in school. This is something that probably happens daily in households. As teachers, we have to be sensitive of situations like this.
