B) I think the ideal classroom relationship between students and teachers is equal position like Friere said. Because if they are not equal, it is difficult for teachers to know what students don’t understand unless students tell them. At the same time it is hard for students to understand and the class is not effective. My idea completely coincided with Friere’s opinion. ” Oppressive society”(p532) , it reminded me my high school days. I had one teacher who always blamed us if we made mistakes so I just tried to remenber what my teacher taught, not to make my teacher angry and then I got bored and sick of attending his class. For the Student like me, the class should be fun without fear.
Friere Posting – Due Monday 10 September September 8, 2007
Sorry about the lateness of my posting this prompt. You should all still have time to submit.
Please do one of the following:
A) Examine the analogy (see p. 688 for information on analogies) between education and banking that forms the basis of Friere’s argument. Is the analogy valid? Or does it mislead by overstating the comparison?
B) Describe what you see as the ideal classroom relationship between students and teachers. How does your ideal coincide with or differ from Freire’s? Why?
C) Respond, thoughtfully, to another student’s posting. You must also reference Freire. If you choose this option, please title your post according to the following formula: “X’s Response to Y on Freire.”
D) Discuss your opinions and analysis of any of the ideas in Freire’s text which interest you.
