Mike Rose vs. Lewis Black

      Obviously both Mike Rose and Lewis Black are very opinionated. They both have outlooks on eduction and have different ways in which they could change it. For example Black says in his segment "Back in Black" that, "There are those who feel kids need a challenging curriculum and one on one help instead of a cafe and putting green." Here he illistrates his opinion on where the focus of education is truly at. He believes that they should focus on the children's benefit and how they would learn better instead of how nice the facility is and if they have certain luxuries at school. Rose also believes in a "child-first" kind of system. In his article he writes about "resolutions" the U.S. should have for education. His number one resolution was "To have more young people get an engaging and challenging education." Here he clearly demonstrates his desire for a better education system. Later in his article Rose says the education system should, "stop looking for the structural or technological magic bullet – whether it’s charter schools or value-added analysis – that will improve education." Here he agrees with Lewis Black by saying that they shouldn't be looking for an improvement of the structure or technology of the school to better education, they should be looking for it in the actual curriculum and different educational tools that will benefit the children. Granted they don't agree on everything, but what they do agree on is the most important here. Rose and Black talk about different things throughout their articles/video segments. Black constantly talks about the overspending and how the kids aren't number one in education but they are in "confidence", while Rose talks about getting rid of certain phrases when addressing education and getting rid of different kinds of experts in the educational field.
