I appreciated you bringing up your connection and experience with the readings, on the idea that students would shift into 'classroom appropriate English' as a way to be accepted into the ways that English was being taught. I also thought that your perspective on returning to original accents as a way to protect one's identity was very real. It made me think about how exhausting it must be to constantly monitor one's voice, and how schools rarely recognize the emotional/mental cost of it. I feel that codeswitching is much harder the less familiar you are with the type of language that is considered the 'norm'. However, less familiar students are likely the ones who experience the pressure to code-switch/mask the most. As you said, it would be imperative that we confront the structural patterns at their roots.
