Overall, I agree with the premise and the evidence used to support the idea that tying students personal experiences to science concepts can help them to build a better understanding. While I think the author oversimplifies and misrepresents some of the ideas behind the science conception/misconception framework, I understand the idea that pointing out to students, especially those who are ELL but truly any student, where they are wrong instead of focusing on what they have correct can provide them with feelings of inadequacy (but I think this is also a simplification of this philosophy).
