I too felt sad for the parents, but sad for Rodriguez as well. The shame he felt by his parents lack of education was only intensified by his teacher who seemed condescending. It is hard for an ESL student to get help from their parents with school work when the parents can't or barely speak English, so it's admirable how well Rodriguez did throughout his school years. It's also sad though, that through the knowledge he gained, he "lost" a part of himself.
