Similarities between Mr. MacFarland and Mr. Escalante

Mr. Escalante and Mr. MacFarland are quite similar. One of the things I find most important that the two teachers share is there love of teaching. They both want to teach. They both took initiative in there classes to bring there students beyond what was expected. Mr. Escante chose to teach his students calculus, when other teachers, and even the students themselves, didn't believe they were able to learn. Mr. MacFarland fashioned his on English class and taught it to only three students. Both teachers also taught students after hours. The two teachers could also keep their students in check. They made sure that their students got what they deserved. Mr. MacFarland got Mike Rose into a college even though he wasn't a perfect candidate on paper. Mr. Escalante confronted a students father to make sure she would continue schooling. He also fought for the students when they were accused of cheating. Mr. Escalante and Mr. MacFarland, also, seemed to keep there students interested in the subject they taught. Mr. MacFarland reignited Mike Rose's passion for writing. Although the two teachers methods of teaching were not entirely the same, the motifs behind their teaching was much the same. They wanted their students to learn and become the best they could be.
