Cloony the clown- thoughts

I think that the poem of Cloony the clown is a perfect example of what happens in school nowadays. When a student is called up to present or say something in front of an audience and make a mistake, the audience responds by unceremoniously jeering at the presenter and making comments in order to ridicule and embarass him/her. The presenter receives a blow to his/her morale. Thus, he/she will learn from past experiences and avoid participating in activities like this. I think that we should not make it hard for the presenters who already find it hard enough to pluck up their courage to speak up in fornt of an audience. Before you jeer at the person, try putting yourself in his/ her shoes. How would you feel?
