Mike Rose paper

It seems as though Rose’s life in Voc. Ed. was all a joke. It seems as though his teachers didn’t care if the students learned anything or not. I thank god my schooling was never like his schooling. The poor students will get nowhere in life. They won’t ever achieve anything because the teachers didn’t care enough to actually teach them.
Rose and his fellow students got to the point where they didn’t care about school either. School became a joke to them. It became to be all about them and who they were, not learning anything. It didn’t help them intellectually, emotionally or socially at all. Rose couldn’t get caught up in math because he didn’t know what was going on.
School is very disorienting to students because you are being thrown into a pool of all kinds of kids. Everyone has a different background and different thoughts of what school should be. And if you are thrown into a school like these kids went to I don’t blame them if they act out and get in trouble. What else are they supposed to do?
I wouldn’t say that college is disorienting but maybe nerve racking. There is a lot of information to learn in a very short time. It can be overwhelming but not disorienting. I suggest that students just take a deep breath and take all the information in. Listen to everything that is said very well. Have the mindset that it will be okay and everything will come together.
My education was a great education. I had great teachers that cared about the students and weather or not they learned anything. I had a couple of teachers that didn’t seem to care, but none as bad as Mike Rose’s teachers.
I think that Rose’s paper can help us with our narrative paper because he had a lot of detail. His paper shows how and what kind of detail we should have in our paper. I think his paper was very informational and helpful when it comes to the papers we have to write.
