I loved this story. For many reason’s, one, I found it the easiest to read, two, I understood what Friere was saying, and three I completely agree with what Friere is saying. Friere said that teachers were like oppressors, in some cases, at least at my high school, that is true, some teachers get so power crazed they would just try to show dominance with the students constantly reminding them of how stupid, infantile, or useless they can be. But that’s just it, we are, we came to school to get an education, we don’t need to be reminded how ignorant we are, we are trying to change that. To sum it all up I compare my ideas to Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall, Which I feel define what Friere and I are trying to say “We don’t need no education. We don’t need no self control. The dark sarcasm in the classroom, Hey! Teacher leave those kids alone. Hey! Teacher leave those kids alone. All we are is just another brick in the wall”
I have turned comments on, I would like to hear from you guys and get a discussion going, or something like that.
Thanks for your co-operation.
