While reading through “I Just Wanna Be Average” by Mike Rose, which highlights how society usually disregards and underestimates the true ability of students and sets out how a teacher’s effect on his or her students is very strong.  Connecting back to “Maybe I Could Save myself by Writing” By José Olivarez He mentioned how students are empty banks and its teacher’s job to deposit knowledge there. Both articles point out the important idea about the relation between teacher and students is very important for students to better in their education. Furthermore, Mike Rose claimed, “Students will float to the mark you set. I and the others in the vocational classes were bobbing in pretty shallow water”. Rose portrays his frustrating experience to be mistakenly put through a vocational track and he had to go through it for 2 years. There are difficulties and strain that can be placed on an individual by education, but very few realize the difficulty of wiping off your academic ability only by a minor failure. It is also normal for less knowledgeable learners not to be appreciated as high ones.  Nonetheless, in “Broken English/ I’m Articulate” By Jamila Lyiscott she speaks about how her English is not perfect because she speaks English and her language as well, but people judge her and correct her. She also stated that others can’t even pronounce a word from a different language and here they are judging her. English is not everyone’s first language instead of criticizing people should encourage them to learn. Also, I can relate to this particular text because English is not my language either I had to learn it to fit into the new environment I was in, hence I understood her main point from the poem. Overall, I have noticed that both texts have to learn in common. No one is full of knowledge they need to be taught to be better.
