I figured this article was a good parallel to the last Chapter in the sense that Jonathon Kozol shows how even in the midst of doubt in some of America’s most segregated schools, he can still see excellence. He shows how teachers have a huge impact on students in various ways and essentially demonstrates that even in the worst of situations there is still hope. Providing examples, Kozol describes dedicated teachers that commit their lives to children and persist against the odds of providing them with a good education.
In this article it describes how all teachers make a difference in the lives of children. Ella Avery is a direct representation of a girl who has gone through many hardships and struggles through life and it wasn’t until a teacher named Mr. Miller came along and changed everything. This article is an excellent illustration of how teachers have a huge impact on students and their futures. As a matter of fact Ella turns out to be one! It truly is an inspirational article and makes you realize teachers really don’t get the recognition that they deserve.
