Lewis Black and Mike Rose

Black and Rose seem to agree that education system has become an arena for politics, rather than learning. Both mock cliche sayings from administrators and politicians, claiming that many people who hold top positions in education know very little about it. Both point out how the legality and politics of the education system often prevent students from receiving good teachers. Although, they have different views on what the focus of education should. While Rose argues that student's creativity and confidence should be encouraged, Black argues that not enough emphasis is placed on core subjects. Rose also warns against comparing education standards, while Black seems to agree with notion that it is something we should keep in mind. Rose and Black both seek to point out flaws in the education, however, Rose offers detailed solutions, while Black simply seeks to point out the problems through the use of humor and satire.
