As stated by Mike Rose, something he wants to change is "To stop the accountability train long enough to define what we mean by “To stop making the standardized test score the gold-standard of student achievement and teacher effectiveness. In what other profession do we use a single metric to judge goodness? Imagine judging competence of a cardiologist by the average of her patients’ cardiograms." He means that we are grading a person by something that should not define their intelligence. I think black would agree with that. Black gave some opinions that he had but no direct facts to support his anger towards the education system. One thing he showed was that we were 21st and in 26th place for math and science in the world. And that we were in first place for self-esteem. And it shows a boy trying to make a jump on his bike onto a roof and misses. I think that shows the way our generation is. We are more into doing crazy things that can harm ourselves then caring about math and science. That is why we need to change our educational system. Both Rose and Black think that the educational systems are failing our kids in America and need to change. Rose states, “To make do with fewer economists in education. These practitioners of the dismal science have flocked to education reform, though most know little about teaching and learning. I mean, my Lord, with a few exceptions they did such a terrific job analyzing the financial and housing markets – something they do know a lot about – that the field of economics itself, according to The Economist, is experiencing an identity crisis. So tell me again why they’re especially qualified to change education for the better.” He is saying people who aren’t qualified to analyze teaching are; and people just listen and don’t even think about the fact that they might not even be qualified to make those assumptions. I think that Black would agree with that statement made by Rose. I agree with both of them, I just need to look into more of the correct facts at the right websites.
