process of being narrated to become lifeless and petrified.” I agree with Freire because school should not be about just memorization. Education needs to be a healthy relationship between pupil and teacher. Freire goes into detail about how the students are the containers and the teachers are the fillers.

Reading A White Teacher Talks About Race has helped open my eyes to how much diversity there really is in our education system. It has shown me how race, economic status, exceptionality, and many life challenges affect a student’s attendance, work ethic, and grades. This book also helped me gain perspective on what life may be like for students that face discrimination, such as finding a job, having enough food and shelter, taking care of their children, and much more. One big lesson I got out…
My philosophy of life is to learn as much as possible and to make a difference in everything that I do. The impact I have on my circumstances and surroundings should be as positive and as long-lasting as possible. Life is the acquisition and application of knowledge to better myself and those around me. How should an individual measure success in their life? I prefer to think of success not in terms of acquiring material items but rather as John Wooden, famed UCLA basketball coach, defined…

The two philosophers I chose are John Dewey and Jean Piaget. I will briefly…
In the speech, “Here I Stand” by Erica Goldson, she explains how the school system gets you to memorize the answers not learn the lessons.

She goes on to explain how in school you’re more memorizing the answers rather than learning/preparing yourself for a career you’re really interested in or good at. She later talks…

“A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, touches the heart, and shapes the future.” School for kids means eight hours wasted; meanwhile, for teachers it means teaching the next generation. Even though kids may think the teachers just want to give them homework or make them work hard so students can have no life, it 's quite the opposite. Teachers teach so that they can see their students succeed in life. They want to know that their students got the best education they could get and that they are…

My Purpose I was born in Puerto Rico and came to the United States at the age of eleven years old.

She always thought very highly of our teachers and would never allow any…
