Comment on Michelle's Stand and Deliver Part 1 Notes

You had a lot of excellent observations. I really like how you compared this movie to Mike Rose's story we read. I did not even think about the similarities between the two stories. We just read Audre's story and almost everyone in the class felt sorry for the small girl receiving similar kinds of punishment. Even though the treatment is similar I can not see any wrong in what Mr. Escalante was doing because he was doing it out of caring for bettering the students. Even though I do not have all the facts from Audre's story but from what I read I do not believe her teacher cared about her students like Mr. escalante did.
