Flowers then encouraged Marguerite, “to listen carefully to what country people called mother wit.” which means a person needs more than just book smarts to be consider intelligent and to able to use that intelligence to survive in life; a person that has wits though life experiences can be more intelligent than people that just gain knowledge in only school books because the people with wits are more savvy from their social life experiences compare to people that live life educated only though book. Maya Angelou is telling this story because she wanted to teach the audience that a person with formal education by only books doesn’t equate to intelligence. She implies, that even some college professors are less intelligent and don’t have as much wit as to some country folks because, the country folks have learned important lessons in life that only life experiences can teach but books cannot teach these important life lessons, base on the passage she wrote, “That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and even more intelligent than college professors, to listen carefully to what country people called mother wit.” The story’s settings are important because it was part of U.S history, where blacks were look upon as second class citizens compare to whites. This was suggested in the passage where Marguerite complements her idol Mrs. Flowers whom is a black woman, by comparing her to a white woman,

We having the luxury of education need to be more diligent in encouraging our children to be educated and useful members of society. We must also teach them tolerance because not all people have had the opportunities that we have had. In my life experience I believe that many things like racism, sexism, and many other intolerant behaviors would disappear. Hate would be a thing of the past our children is where this must start, raising our kids with tolerance will make the future a better
Esme begins the book with the most prominent issue facing new teachers; discipline and classroom management. Luckily for Esme, she had a great cooperating teacher in one of her student placements.

One of the major differences between pedagogy and andragogy theory of learning is the role of the educator is minimized. The way you would teach adults is different from the way you would teach a child because as adults we tend to think things through more deeply. Adults also need to know they should learn something.
