The most important thing about being an ally

or an accomplice is to be educated. Educated

in how the population of students with
cognitive mental illnesses are being othered
in the classroom. Educated in what will the
right solutions that must be fought for.
Educated in how to be an efficient accomplice,
not only an ally. An ally stands with the
population in need of help. On the other hand,
an accomplice takes a direct-action position
within the given community. An accomplice
knows their position requires them to confront,
fight, and receive consequences hand in hand
with the given community. To be an accomplice
to the community of students with cognitive
mental illnesses is to give assistance when
better situated (Brown, Knollman, 2011, pg. 2).
To use the advantage of having a voice in
power and or simply give aid to the individuals.
Another aspect of being an accomplice is to
have an open mind away from negative
connotations being heard from individuals with
cognitive mental illnesses (Moskovkina,
Pakhomova, Abramova, 2001, pg. 2).
