He regularlysees her conversing animatedly with her friends in the cafeteriaand before and after school. She does well in class also. Herhomework is always on time and is usually well done. Her scores ontests generally range from 85 to 100%. She regularly volunteers towork problems on the board or to answer questions in class. Inshort, Treena is a good student who does everything that isexpected of her. One day Mr. Jordan asks for volunteers to completea problem at the board. Treena's hand shoots up and Mr. Jordancalls on her, \"Treena, have a go at it\". Treena approaches theboard and examines the problem. She looks puzzled but begins towork it. She makes an error that will severely impact the finalanswer. Several other students begin to snicker. \"That's enough\",warns Mr. Jordan, Let Treena finish in peace\". Treena's heartbegins to beat faster. Her skin becomes flushed. She begins toperspire. The other children in the class begin to fidget. Somebegin snickering again. After several seconds of standing at theboard, but doing nothing, Treena runs out of the room in tears. \"Ican't do this, Mr. Jordan, I just can't\", she says through hertears as she leaves. Mr. Jordan follows Treena and manages to calmher down. He reassures her that all students make mistakes and thatthere is no shame in it. He then asks that she return to class,which she does. After this, Treena no longer participates in Mr.Jordan's class. Once in Ms. Crauser's class, she begins to answer aquestion and freezes.
