class material:
----Saturation: When schools treat subjects as its property
• When you put a sponge in water, it gets full of water. If there’s only a little water, not that much will get absorbed
• When the school takes the subject and takes so much of it that it can’t be experienced outside of school
Discussion: Which subjects are less saturated?
• Music
• Home economics
• Theatre
• Physical education
• History (debatable)
• Art class
• International studies
-----Passage discussion: “The banking concept…” (p. 16 from ‘pedagogy of the oppressed’ pdf)
• Teachers are trapped in this situation as well
• Students have no say on what is right or wrong
• Speaks to how teachers treat knowledge as property (give it back to me the same way)
• Learning through memorization does not help you in society
• No opportunity to think for yourself
• To be a good teacher: the better your reputation, the more kids and parents like you, the more freedom you have to do what you want as a teacher
• In the teaching profession, find like-minded people, find support
• Resistance starts with finding solidarity with other people
