Helen Anderson develops a hybrid theory on school environment between Jane R. Martin's comfortableness of home life and Cris Mayo's concept of discomfort in recognizing a structural problem of society. Anderson argues that, even though they seem to be very different in their argument and background, they can correct each other's deficiencies when read as complementary. Anderson made a journey to join these two theories together in an attempt to create a comfortable/uncomfortable space for embracing the three Cs at the same time as encouraging students to question their assumptions about social inequality and power. She argues that the school will be an ideal place when it allows discomfort while students feel welcome and at home. Anderson renovates Martin's Schoolhome with Mayo's concept of discomfort. In this article, I will discuss several points based on Martin, Mayo, and Anderson's arguments in the pursuit of a better education for all students, regardless of the differences they might have.
