An analysis of the passage on an embarrassing moment faced by a six year old student reveals the things that affect kids to their old age.

• A six year old student with the whole future before her has a moment she wishes she didn’t have. Her future will be influenced by the occurrence of the event.

The narrative is about a person who experienced an embarrassing moment while she was six years old. She was a member of a math class with a strict homeroom teacher.

• The teacher disliked the idea of students whispering in each other’s eyes. A friend of her’s was whispering in her ears when the strict teacher saw them.
• Both were ordered to go to the front of the class amid laughter by the other students. She did not like it. They were made to stand on top of a desk and a shameful song sung to them.
• Her friend pied on herself making the situation even more embarrassing. Considering that the persona was innocent, she felt like a victim of circumstances.

Embarrassment among kids is less often less talked about because kids rarely express themselves. For instance.

• Kids should be given room to express themselves and be heard.
• Guardians should express tolerance and patients for kids to grow into holistic individuals.
• Young students are likely to develop a negative attitude towards the subject because of what transpired. Teachers are required to provide a good foundation for the kids. A teacher should give good guidance, insight and boast the self esteem of students. The teacher in the passage doesn’t act like a good teacher. She doesn’t understand her student’s behavior and characteristics which she ought to. She has a strict punishment regime which should not be the case with young students. She should listen to her students and make them trust her. She imposes fear among her student.
