In Social Studies we were given two different articles about having a critical voice and finding your own critical voice. I feel that I have to find mine. I have yet to be able to speak boldly when I need to. I have learned when you voice my opinion or say what I feel or think. However, I am not one of those people who can say what they believe is right all that time. I have always been one to do what they are told and follow directions to the tee. I do not like doing something that is considered "wrong." However, as a pre-service teacher, I need to find my critical voice. I need to be able to stand up for my future students when they cannot stand up from themselves and the systems fail them. I found it a very close relation between the articles in Social Studies and the one article about Valerie Claire. If Mrs. Coughlin had not had a critical voice or the courage to stand up for her students, Valerie would have been stuck in a place where she was not learning. I hope I can find my voice and stick to my guns, when I see how the system fails future students.
