Top List of educational concepts or just the list Gabriel told us to do....

Paragraph 3,
As students its our responsibility to learn and understand what teachers "teach" us and save those thoughts in our mind as they are important. The way Paulo compared us as depositories and teachers depositors it makes sense as they would be depositing knowledge in out minds, and the minds being depositories.

"Education thus becomes an act of depositing......."

Paragraph 4,
The way students are going to learn efficiently is by being open to the teacher and being able to feel comfortable with each other. I have never been in a situation where the teacher isn't welcoming and didn't make people feel comfortable. I feel as opposites attract. I think the way the quote works is that for two opposites to cooperate they need to work with each other and learn from one another as if they were the same. Two teachers can work together efficiently, as well as two students.

"The teacher presents himself to his students as their necessary opposite......."

Paragraph 4
Teachers can only support and aid students in making their own opinion. Imagine if that were to be the case, it would be a dictatorship. One opinion forced into peoples heads, people not being able to think for themselves.

"The teacher cannot think for his students, nor can he impose his thought on them..."

Paragraph 2
Teaching has come a long way, and not only has it developed to be learning resource, but it has established a connection that both the teacher and student have. This connection varies from person to person but has proven that both the student and teacher have learned from one another and have mutually learned that a teacher knows only so much.

"The teacher is no longer merely the-one-who-teaches, but one who is himself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach"

Paragraph 3
Education has been enforced in all schools and public places as well as on television and radio advertisements. There are many ways to receive education and if there is a will there is a way. Many individuals don't recognize that there are many advantages to this education, like freedom to learn, freedom to write, basically anything you can think of ties in.

"Education as the practice of freedom--as opposed to education as the practice of domination...."
