one thing that is gone from modern smartphones and should never have been removed is easily replaceable batteries. It`s a pain to open a phone to replace it nowadays...
This brings up memories, not of myself but of one specific girl in high school that was absolutely terrified of doing presentations. the first time she went up in front of the class she barely did a minute and had her eyes stuck on her paper (which was blank actually) the whole time. She ran out of the class crying afterwards... the teacher went to speak with her and made her come back into class. The second the door closed everyone stood up and started clapping. Not surprisingly she did a lot better the other time around. That was freshman year... by the time Senior Year rolled around she was as comfortable as anyone in front of the class. I added her as a friend on facebook when facebook started becoming popular (yeah i'm old) and i was a bit surprised to learn she was actually working in theaters...
The point is it`s not only the teachers that help people come out of their shell but also the people in the class that can make a difference. In today's individualistic society people are more likely to bully that person and that is the reason all those anxious kids don`t want to stand up in front of their peers
