Similarities/Differences with Rose and Black

Similarities/Differences with Rose and Black

There seemed to be more similarities than differences between them. 

Rose says in #5 that we need a “major shift from the last decade punitive accountability system”.  Black says that the kids start the “51 week of incarceration”. 

Both Rose and Black are referring to a strict system – that resembles prison.

Rose says in #3 to “stop looking for the structural or technological bullet – like charter schools or value-added analysis”.  Black says, “charter schools are great but most kids are in public schools – only chance to getting in is by lottery”.

Both agree that charter schools are not necessarily the answer.

 Rose says in #10 “to make do with fewer economists in education – most know little about teaching”.  Black shows video clip of Tony Danza where he “comes in to save/co-teach a 10^th grade class, knowing nothing about teaching”.

You can’t fix something you don’t know anything about.

 One difference I found was:

In the first paragraph Rose calls the teaching “bad old habits”, where Black out right says the system is “broken”.
