28、r terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples perceptions (认识 ) of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of
29、 her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly, her thoughts were imperfect.

42、tance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先 ). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all student
43、s. Music tells us who we are because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values as well as the social environment it comes from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other
