country do it faithfully. I wonder now when the country will face its children and say a pledge right back.” (Berry, 71) My perception of this story is one that strongly agrees with Lynda. I feel like the government is going about the problems with education all wrong.

explanation of what that means. Paulo Friere believes that the problem with the education system is that teachers merely tell students to memorize the material, and all the students do is spit the information right back out.
