Pedagogy of the Oppressed

This was a difficult read. It seemed really wordy and I had to reread sentences multiple times. However what I think I gleaned from it was students should not be treated like receptacles needing to be filled. That approach will only lead to them memorizing the facts, and not thinking outside the box. If we have students engage in their own learning then it expands there ability to think, and be individuals.  Teachers who show their students how or why they are learning what they are learning have a better affect on students. From personal experience, I had a math professor here at EWU who would connect the old equations to the new ones, it helped to see how they connected and why we needed to know this new one.
