Freire’s Third Letter
Freire said it best in his third letter when he said that educators need to walk and teach with a humble heart and to put away the veil of the authoritarian whom bears the burden of having all the answers and knows everything that is important. Not all cultures are the same as my own. I have to come to grips with the fact that not all people like to run their mouth as much I do. I love the idea Tateishi shares about creating lessons where students have a more structured involvement in the discussions. That was a great idea. We, as educators, must make it a priority to learn about other cultures beyond key historical figures, battles, and important dates. We need to learn about the people/ the students in our class; that is what is most important.
