Freire Video

I watched an interesting video called "Paulo Freire and Critical Pedagogy" on YouTube. The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFOhVdQt27c. There were a few statements that I found interesting. One was that, "Critical pedagogy is teachers asking why and students being allowed to freely ask the same question". Critical examination of teaching material will lead to a better understanding of the framework in which it was designed. Why are we learning this? Who is it benefiting? Another statement was, "3 0r 4 kids in one class properly taught and educated can multiply". I like the idea that if you can reach a handful of students with a message this can lead to overall social change.
