Assignment 1c

The first classmate page I read was Jeana. I learned that when she thinks of California she thinks of the beautiful mountains, rivers and beaches. I learned that Paulo Freire goal was to encourage pupils to think for themselves and to not accept everything that was taught to them as the absolute truth. Another thing I learned was Paulo Freire thought that education should be based on a deeper purpose than solely acquiring knowledge instead; education should be used to prepare students to make a difference in the world. This can relate to this class because the more information that we learn about gives us the opportunity to make a difference in our life and community.

The second classmate page I read was Colleen. She is an artist and a philosopher. I learned that Paulo Freire criticized the banking in education. This consist of a one sided way that teachers deposit information to students that lacks any critical thinking. I also learned that Paulo Freire grew up in Brazil during a time when there was a huge gap in education for Brazilians. Colleen also wrote a beautiful sentence about when we respect everyone’s views and take in, and learn from one another than humanity can flourish. I think this is great idea that can relate to this class. Education is all about learning to be respectful of others views. If more people can think like this than maybe this would has a chance of survival.
