I disagree with the statement that the short story is unsuitable for intermediate learners due to
prejudices, stereotypes, and insensitivity. While it is true that the extract contains examples of
prejudices and insensitivity, it can be used as a teaching tool to address these issues. The story
presents an opportunity for discussion on the importance of treating others with respect and not
judging people based on their parents' occupations. For example, when Billy Mitzer expresses his
desire to work in a bank because "there's lots of money in the bank," it highlights a stereotype about
people who work in banks being wealthy. This can be used as a starting point to talk about how
people from all walks of life can achieve success and happiness. Additionally, the incident where the
girls in the back row make fun of Jodie's father's occupation as a garbageman presents an
opportunity to discuss the impact of hurtful words and the importance of empathy. By addressing
these examples in a classroom setting, students can learn valuable lessons about empathy, respect,
and the dangers of stereotypes. Overall, the extract, when used thoughtfully, can serve as a valuable
tool for addressing prejudices and insensitivity, making it suitable for intermediate learners.
