Mike Rose vs Lewis Black

Two men go down different avenues to get their point across. Lewis Black uses a satirical tongue in cheek to bring forth a harsh reality hidden behind the laughs and Mike Rose will divulge point by point ways to not only point out what is wrong but how to change it. Even different the main point is our education is under performing and our children are the suffering and our nation's progress is dismal. Lewis Black brings out many examples on how our mainstream media is not covering the education as much as possible by pointed out they will spend just a week talking about education and they rest about criminal coverage. Mike Rose's vocal point is the reason our education reform is not changing for the better is because the leadership of this country will call upon high marketable CEOs and economists even though none of the people are educators. Rose's message is clear to change education we must change it from within the walls of education and who better than the teachers themselves. We shouldn't be calling on Steve Jobs for his opinion on how to educate our children. He does have a great success story but its irrelevant to the education process.

  1. Yeah, I think we should have to people involved in the problem really help the problem. Not some random person stepping into the issue.

  2. It is quite odd that the president would meet with steve jobs. I mean the guy is a genius but what does he know about the problems with education? Or for that matter the problem with not enough funding?

  3. So...small crazy rant following...

    Television today drives me insane. All of these forms of media we have to entertain ourselves. The part Lewis Black jokes about one week for education and 51 for incarceration. While the television was never a box full of learning there has been some good programs in the past. We still have some of this but...just...the one that drives me most insane. The learning channel. "The channel was founded in 1972 by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and NASA." This...is TLC today...the same station that runs 17 kids and counting, Toddlers and Tiaras and Here Comes Honey-Boo-Boo...This is what our LEARNING channel has become...
