I Just Wanna Be Average
“I Just Wanna Be Average”
By: Mike Rose
Summary:
In the story “I Just Wanna Be Average” the author Mike Rose argues that society very often neglects and doesn’t see the full value and potential of students.
As a student you’re not the only that is frustrated. Rose explains how even dealing with the issues and difficulty of a highly respected professor you can still somehow find comfort as a student and learn to deal with the issues of the professor in your own way. Rose also points out that the impact a teacher has on his or her students is very powerful. I know from experience that when you as a student can respect and relate to a teacher your more willing to put as much effort as you can into your own work. Rose proves with his points throughout the story that students who are not as well off as others can’t be understood.

Rose also clearly believes that every single student have a right and can reach their maximum potential, and rise to their own expectations. As Rose himself states most teachers and professors have no idea the extent or how to reach a child’s imagination who is just “In their own mind.” Students should always take blame and control of their own education, but teachers and professors should also be setting higher standards for students because as Professor Rose stated the students will rise to the standard you set for them. "How did Jones do this?" "Hmmmm." "No." "No, that won't work." Your attention wavers, with this being said I see Rose’s point if teachers would make these remedial classes more exciting students would begin to understand the subjects a lot more and
