1. Bach dissmisses the teacher’s comment because he believed that he gave the kids another way of thinking towards education. Education should be free and challenging. “Education is important. School is not.” (1). It should not have to follow a certain system which does not worked for everyone. The teacher believes in the system and that is why she is dangerous because she agrees with a method that limits a child’s education expirience. Now, Bach and Kanye are both successful but they have different opinions. Bach isn’t saying to stop learning. He wants everyone to crave knowledge and to continue learning in their own way. They should master what they are interested in by challenging themselves. If they feel like school isn’t the right place for their education then, they should get out. “I felt like it was wasting my time”(2).

Kanye on the other hand motivates students to continue their education by going to college because it’s an advantage in the real world. You can network and have a lot of oppurtunities that a school might have to offer. He also mentions being broke.“That’s the main problem. When I was a college student I was broke, and I really like clothes. When I was in college it would have been better if I could have afforded more clothes!” He donates money with contests so that when kid’s are in school they don’t have to worry about personal expenses. The two point of views are opposing but they both have the message of taking the best oppurtunity for your education.

Bach’s idea of a buccaneer scholar is that it is different. “The status of buccaneers as pirates or privateers was ambiguous.” I think Bach reffered to himself as a buccaneer because he was probably in a lot of “wars” since he didnt not have a diploma but he kept on fighting until he reached the “riches”. He basically put himself out there and even if he wasn’t suppose to be in certian places he would still show up to soak up information on what he was interested in. He gained success by taking a different route than what “normal” people do.
