There are many people in this country that feel our education system has many flaws and that students are not getting the most their school experience. Two people that are well known for pointing out these flaws is John Taylor Gatto and Mike Rose. John Taylor Gatto really criticizes the function of public schools in, “Against Schools”. He believes that public schools are taking kids and not allowing them to mature and training them a certain way. Mike rose in, “I Just Wanna Be Average” explains why High School is really tough on some kids and uses his own experiences from his past that paint a clear picture why this is true. Although these Authors make some similar points they both have different solutions to the problems they present.
