1. Rose's life in during the time he was in Our Lady of Mercy sounds dreadful. a bunch of jackass's who dont give two cares about the lives and educations of Mike Rose and the other kids that are in their hands. His teachers obviously weren't teachers out of passion for the career but just another job that paid the bills. They didnt care whether the kids learned there or not. I have never had teachers like this that i can recall but if i did they didnt last long.
2. Our lady of Mercy, i assume, made it vary difficult for Mike and the other students to WANT to learn or for that matter even cooperate with the schools obligations. Im sure they felt inadequate, with low self esteem, and not believing in their full potential. mike rose developed faulty and inadequate ways of doing math.
3. High school is so disorienting to students like Ken Harvey because there is alot of different views on life from alot of different people. Teachers, peers, and people you dont even know. You also have alot of different kind of people all at once. Ken Harvey copes with it by acting how he thinks people think he should act like. In my experience people lash out and turn to drugs in order to deal with the pressures and judgements they encounter in school. Or they just drop out.
4. The only thing i find really disorienting aout college is the many age differences and learning differences. Im not really sure on the steps students should take to feeling less like this.
5. I dont think my education compares to any of Mike Rose's story. I would not put up with the stuff that he put up with.
