Your approach to presenting Paty's situation as institutional violence instead of family deficiency demonstrates how educational institutions make families maintain language-based social systems. Your point about Jaeda’s code-switching as a means of survival, rather than celebration, also stood out to me. It reminded me of peers in my own school who shifted into “classroom English” not out of pride, but out of self-protection. I’m especially struck by your argument for abolition instead of reform, since it raises the question of whether current systems can ever truly affirm multilingual identities. What would it take for schools to move from survival to genuine liberation for students like Dan and Jaeda?
