In “The Answer Sheet by Mike Rose” He says that students are not getting an engaging and challenging education. While watching chalk Mr. Lowrey had an incident with one student. While he was attempting to discipline the one, he left the rest of the class complete unattended and disengaged. After the public altercation the classroom was laughing out of what seemed to be embarrassment. He says “im going to leave, and when I come back I want to see who is going to teach this class.” There were several incidents when his classroom was told to “just read” or “just learn what’s on the board.” There was one time when he even had his classroom learning something that didn’t even pertain to that specific class.
On the Daily Show, Lewis Black, did a segment called “Back in Black.” He showed a portion where the students reflected to the camera their thoughts of their teacher. A girl says “I’m actually very concerned that he is not even qualified to be a teacher” We can relate this to Mr. Lowrey becoming a history teacher because a career placement test told him he would make a good history teacher. Mr. Lowery had no prior training or teaching experience, so obviously when he gets into the teaching scenario he is not going to deliver. Mr. Lowery was so introvert that he could not relate to his students, although he made a solid effort towards the end. I would suggest he would be the type to complete a technical writing.
