Mike Rose details the faults of the education system in a piece concerning his own personal experiences. His high school education was radically changed when his school swapped his test scores with the scores of a student with the same last name. The system depended upon test scores to determine the path of classes that individual students must take, and due to the weak performance reflected in Mike Rose’s alleged scores, he was placed on the vocational path. Unfortunately, the vocational path was implied to be the lowest tier of classes in the school - so despite Rose’s natural intelligence, he was placed within remedial classes due to the IQ within his file.
He states: In another elementary school, which had been built to hold 1,000 children but was packed to bursting with some 1,500, the principal poured out his feelings to me in a room in which a plastic garbage bag had been attached somehow to cover part of the collapsing ceiling. ‘This,’ he told me, pointing to the garbage bag, then gesturing around him at the other indications of decay and disrepair one sees in ghetto schools much like it elsewhere, ‘would not happen to white children. ’(Kozol

The program that Rose was enrolled in was the Vocational Track [2], through his own words this was a “dumping ground for the disaffected [3]”. Rose was placed in the vocational track through an accident because he had the same last name of another student. He enjoyed that type of learning environment because not much was expected from him.

From a young age society teaches us that people like Chris are second-class citizens, and just because they have disability they are therefore inferior both mentally as well as physically. And though it’s not right, a lot of people seem to think that way, including Mike Barbour and Rich Marshall. This learned ignorance in which we have grown so accustomed is the reason why Chris has been stuck in the back of the classroom his whole life. “We sat in rows, the person with the best grades in the front seat to his far left, moving down the academic gradient to Chris Coughlin in the back seat of the right-hand row” (Crutcher 128). This kind of derogatory behavior can be seen throughout the whole life of Chris Coughlin, and even though he wanted to learn and participate, he wasn’t able to due to being viewed as

In major cities across the United States schools that poverty stricken African American students attend are segregated, not in a legal sense, but because of location. Neighborhoods with soaring levels of poverty are limited to the oftentimes overpopulated, underfunded, and understaffed local schools.
