- Favorite Quote from INSIDE OUT AND BACK AGAIN
- Hà confides in Mrs. Washington that she is bullied by her classmates when she makes mistakes speaking English. Mrs. Washington encourages Hà to speak as much as possible because it is only when you make mistakes that you learn! When Hà says that the children laugh at her, Mrs. Washington reminds Hà that those children probably don't know Vietnamese and she should be proud to know more than one language. She should certainly not be ashamed for not speaking English perfectly as it is her second language! This is a great reminder that we all learn through mistakes and practice. Nobody is born knowing everything!
