Finally. An article that actually acknowledges the difference between shyness and introversion. There is finally some warmth in the world. But seriously, I agree that introverts are highly misunderstood by many educators who pressurise more reserved and thoughtful students to speak up and behave more like extroverts, which honestly is EXTREMELY annoying and also makes us introverts feel ostracised and unaccepted for who we are. I think it will be good for people to understand that being outspoken or able to communicate well verbally is not the be-all end-all quality for students to achieve, and instead of getting students to follow a rigid model of what a "good" student should be, I think it is more beneficial to students to allow us to do things and express ourselves in ways we are comfortable with so as to bring out the best of our abilities.

 Voilà un sujet dont on parle peu, mais qui vaut la peine d'être reconnu : les introvertis en situation d'apprentissage.
