Jeannie Oaks and Martin Lipton argue that today's educators must stay updated with the newest materials to teach in order for their students to succeed in their schooling.

Oaks and Lipton explain how schools today have to change. They use a metaphor for describing schools when they explain, school is like an assembly line or a factory. They portray a forceful environment and show no encouragement. Students today are looked at as customers instead of individuals. This type of institute is very problematic because different children have different learning styles, every students is not the same. This makes a child feel distant and unnecessary, making them feel like the teachers are just there to teach and if the student is not completely there, they do not care. The language in which we use to talk to students really impacts the relationships and settings we provide for the school community.
