A Third Level to Pedagogy's

I became incredulous to the thorough explications regarding what being "oppressed" and being an "oppressor" was. Then, as it continued, this efflorescent idea of how the "context" of these two function congealed into this heightened understanding of consciousness within worldly examples we all understand from a global perspective. I was ready to move on to the next chapter, expecting to discern how each example works within the precepts of the oppressed and oppressing context as far as "teaching" me, when it said, "now take all of these ideas expanded, and place them into how the teacher works and how the student works." I was blown away! In each primordial existence of one example's counterpart, it is only an integral part of how the teacher exists in its "oppressing" stasis, as well as the student "oppressed" stasis, and how our goal is to fully comprehend how we can move past this "dated" way of thinking about teaching. This third level brought all of the things I think about when it comes to how I perceive the "representation" of the teacher in America, and how "communication" and "trust" bring students to higher learning. Amazing stuff. Will most likely finish this weekend.

The hard part is leaving behind the role of the oppressor and begin learning with the students. The banking system of teaching is so ingrained into the school system, it becomes hard to break out of: i.e. the bundles and cba's in our district.
