Original 1:

“Safe spaces” allow students, “to be open to ideas and perspectives so that the differences they encounter are educational” (Roth). The “safe spaces” mentioned by Roth are in regards to students who want to speak their mind and not feel pressured or judged, but they can also be applied to the children in Dweck’s studies.

Revision 1:

Michael Roth discusses “safe spaces” and how they allow students, “to be open to ideas and perspectives so that the differences they encounter are educational.” The “safe spaces” mentioned by Roth are in regards to students who want to speak their mind and not feel pressured or judged, but they can also be applied to the children in Dweck’s studies.

Original 2: 

If a topic is uncomfortable to students then they should inform their professors and not, “pressure their professors to avoid teaching the subject in order to protect themselves and their classmates from potential distress” (Haidt). The key word there is “potential.”

Revision 2:

Lukianoff and Haidt realize the importance of teaching uncomfortable material in class and students should not, “pressure their professors to avoid teaching the subject in order to protect themselves and their classmates from potential distress.” The key word is “potential” because that means a student may not become stressed and if that material is not taught then knowledge is not gained.
