Reading “ a talk to teacher” we can tell James Baldwin really wants teachers to take their Job to another level not only teaching the children about American history but to teach them about the standards and how they are not permanent but they have power to change to change the world, they want them to teach children that they are their own person and they need to find within themselves that they can be bigger,he wants the children to understand that if they have a curiosity to look into it there is no stop or no limit to learning new things, he wants teachers to teach about the struggle and the bad about society. By saying “the world is larger” I think James Baldwin was trying to tell the readers there is more to what you learn. There is a wider field in learning outside of a person’s home school or any place he is trying to say the world is big and what you learn has way much more to it than you think. Something I wish was taught to me was in high school. I wish I had more knowledge on what to expect in my tradition from high school to college, like how do internships work, for the ones who don’t know what major to choose I wish we had a little more knowledge on fields we can work in before entering college so we can have an idea and not just jump into a major because of total interest and end up hating it.I wish the schools start teaching kids how to deal with a failure not only in the house but I feel like students are pressured to go through school with high grades and their mental health isn’t the biggest priority students are giving work after work after work and end up overworking themselves this also would lead into time management basic skill students would need to succeed in college that they are just expected to adjust to a very different environment by themselves.Â
