Mr. Escalante and Mr. MacFarland so similar.

Mr. Escalante and Mr. MacFarland have so much in common. They both push a lot of school work on the students and really get through to their heads. They both teach in ways to help them learn and understand. Mr. MacFarland was also teaching to troubling difficult students. Who were hard to keep in line. I agree with Rose when he states “Though a lot of guys groused in the schoolyard, it just seemed that giving trouble to this particular teacher was a silly thing to do”. They shouldn’t ever tease or take their anger out on the teacher. That won’t end well. If you already do it on others in the schoolyard don’t do it to the teacher as well. A teacher that may be pushing a lot of work on you but he is helping you become very successful in the future. I also love the fact that Rose began reading again and he hadn’t since he was in elementary. The fact that the teacher could have that affect on him is great, Just like Mr. Escalante did on his students. Rose says that Mr. Macfarland had “hooked him”. He got him interested in things again. He states..”He gave me a way to feel special by using my mind.” This is exactly what Escalante did with his students. H e showed he cared , made them feel special compared to what other teachers had done to them in the past. . Mr. Macfarland helped him go to college and that is somewhat Mr. Escalante had done. He wanted them to take the AP Exam to make them want to go.  I never found too many differences  between the two teachers. Just the schools subjects of course. I find them so much a like it was unreal. He really helped the students improve
