I have a confession: I have word hang ups. It is beyond my control. Sometimes they are perfectly fine words, like merge or loaf. Other times its word play that gets me.

I took a look at Matt and Dave’s blogs for more information on Paulo Freire. Matt is a Taurus and doesn’t tell us much more about himself. Dave has a fantastic music collection and I can’t wait to listen to more… (check it out). Both gentlemen included great quotes in their reports. Matt writes about Freire’s belief in critical pedagogy, where students are encouraged to question the material presented to them by using critical analysis. Matt included this quote in his report,
“Nobody liberates anybody else, and nobody liberates themselves all alone. People liberate themselves in fellowship with others.”
Dave is a teacher and seems to be coming from a more mature perspective in his carrer. He included this quote in his report,

Without humility, one can hardly listen with respect to those one judges to be too far below one's own level of competence. But the humility that enables one to listen even to those considered less competent should not be an act of condescension or resemble the behavior of those fulfilling a vow...” (p. 39 of Teachers as Cultural Workers - Letters to Those Who Dare Teach)
