Interesting Penny, this morning I was checking in on a little girl whose mum has a Facebook run on her little girl Daisy (Fresh as a Daisy). She is such an inspirational mother and breaking down barriers for her little girl. Daisy was eating chocolate mousse (moof), and her mother was trying so hard to get her to say mousse. In the end she said...so you just want to call it moof?
'Yes!" she said. Some things you just leave to the speech therapist.
Daisy is already keeping pace with her peers in terms of recognition of words and numbers. But just imagine 50 or more years ago when her inability to pronounce words would have been seen as an intellectual barrier to learning.
Some of these people who marginalize others need a taste of their own medicine, but then the casualty in all of that would be the migrant, or the child with a disability.
