More quotes by Paulo Freire
Teachers who do not take their own education seriously, who do not study, who make little effort to keep abreast of events have no moral authority to coordinate the activities of the classroom.
Paulo Freire
Any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.
Paulo Freire
Reflection and action must never be undertaken independently.
Paulo Freire
Although the teachers or the students are not the same, the person in charge of education is being formed or re-formed as he/she teaches, and the person who is being taught forms him/herself in the process. ...There is, in fact, no teaching without learning.
Paulo Freire
In the banking concept of education, knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing... The teacher presents himself to his students as their necessary opposite by considering their ignorance absolute, he justifies his own existence.
Paulo Freire
Reading is not walking on the words it's grasping the soul of them.
Paulo Freire
Learning is a process where knowledge is presented to us, then shaped through understanding, discussion and reflection.
Paulo Freire
I cannot be a teacher without exposing who I am.
Paulo Freire
Only through communication can human life hold meaning.
Paulo Freire
The oppressed want at any cost to resemble the oppressors. They call themselves ignorant and say the 'professor' is the one who has knowledge and to whom they should listen. Almost never do they realize that they, too, 'know things' they have learned in their relations with the world.
Paulo Freire
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.
Paulo Freire
The oppressors develop a series of methods precluding any presentation of the world as a problem and showing it rather as a fixed entity, as something given--something to which people, as mere spectators, must adapt.
Paulo Freire
This book will present some aspects of what the writer has termed the pedagogy of the oppressed, a pedagogy which must be forged with, not for, the oppressed (whether individuals or peoples) in the incessant struggle to regain their humanity.
Paulo Freire
Being tolerant does not mean acquiescing to the intolerable it does not mean covering up disrespect it does not mean coddling the aggressor or disguising aggression. Tolerance is the virtue that teaches us to live with the different. It teaches us to learn from and respect the different.
Paulo Freire
It would be extremely naive to expect the dominant classes to develop a type of education that would enable subordinate classes to perceive social injustices critically.
Paulo Freire
Problem-posing education affirms men and women as beings in the process of becoming.
Paulo Freire
True generosity consists precisely in fighting to destroy the causes which nourish false charity.
Paulo Freire
At times, I have been criticized by some philosophers of education, who place me in postures that they classify pejoratively as 'revolutionary.' But I have had the satisfaction of being invited to work in societies making progressive efforts without wavering. They were changing, and so they called on me.
Paulo Freire
It is absolutely essential that the oppressed participate in the revolutionary process with an increasingly critical awareness of their role as subjects of the transformation.
Paulo Freire
Education is an act of love, and thus an act of courage
Paulo Freire
