How are Mr. Escalante and Ms. Watson different? Similar?

Ms. Watson came to Wellsley College to make a difference and Mr. Escalante went to Garfield high school to teach math. Both of their intentions were to help students and both were very passionate. I think Ms. Watson came to Wellsley to be herself and the faculty did not approve her teaching methods, which is very similar to Mr. Escalante’s situation. Mr. Escalante did not have the support of his faculty and he wanted so very much for his students to succeed. Ms. Watson had women who knew what they were doing and knew what they wanted to do in life. They both attained different kinds of students with different kinds of personalities but even through all the trouble the students gave them, the students all loved them for pushing them and helping them to achieve their goal. I think Ms. Watson and Mr. Escalante were very dedicated individuals. Ms. Watson dedicated her time to help the women of Wellsley College think beyond what society wants them to be and achieve more than just marrying a fine young gentleman. The women were destined to become housewives and Mr. Escalante’s students were destined to become failing students of Garfield high school. Mr. Escalante pushed his students to pass the AP exam and they passed with their dedication and effort they put into learning the material.
