Freire and Gatto both see the negatives from the current American education and curriculum. Chalk reinforces this by portraying Mr. Stroope as a teacher not striving to better his students, but as a teacher driven by recognition (award). Often Mr. Stroope is not as intelligent as his students. Teachers should be qualified to teach. When you have teachers who are not qualified to teach, the level of education will be lower. Also, Mr. Lowrey is not motivated to enjoy what he does, teach. They do not look to empower or lift their students to a place where they think outside the box, rather it is just the mundane routine they go through everyday, just to get through the year. They don't encourage their students to be thinkers and leaders, just to follow the set curriculum and follow the rules.
