Paulo Freire
Image

Paulo Freire
Image
In order for the oppressed to unite they must first cut the umbilical cord of magic and myth which binds them to the world of oppression the unity which links them to each other must be of a different nature.
Paulo Freire
Image
How can I be an educator if I do not develop in myself a caring and loving attitude toward the student, which is indispensable on the part of one who is committed to teaching and to the education process itself.
