There we observed that changing the claim from "this country's teachers" to "many of this country’s teachers" would account for the exceptions, teachers who did not fit the generalization.
I think that this is very important. You need to be intentional with the vocabulary you are using; we have to do this to make sure that we are not generalizing and roping people into a statistic or something that they do not fit in.
Often, a particular claim or reason may sound plausible, but we need to slow down and ask if it is true in all cases.
You need to look from ALL cases to see if it still fits together. Even if it sounds believable right off the bat, it needs to be backed up.
If we see a general statement, we should ask ourselves whether it is always true or whether we can identify any case that doesn’t fit the pattern.
When making a comment, we have to make sure that it is true and is backed by some sources. You need to look for patterns to be able to generalize.
