"Teaching requires respect for the knowledge of learners"

"The study is not measured by the number of pages read in one night, or by the number of books read in a semester. Studying is not an act of consuming ideas, but creates and recreate". This is a quote by Paulo Freire
Paulo Freire (1921-1997) was a brazilian educator, philosopher, and influential theorist of critical pedagogy. He is best known for his influential work, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed", which is considered one of the foundation texts of the critical pedagogy movement.
With his principle of dialogue, he taught a new way for the relationship between teachers and students. His ideas influenced and influence democratic processes around the world. He was the pedagogue of the oppressed and his work relayed the pedagogy of hope. Influenced the liberating ideas in Latin America and in the theology of liberation in the European and African educational renovations, and her figure is constant reference and liberator politics to education. He was emigrant and exile for political reasons because of dictatorships. For a long time, his home was the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland.
I admire his work because he works for the people most need and taught us to work with love, always thinking of the student's abilities, seeing it as a couple.
