The group I met with was Kyle, Sarah, Sabrina, Gabby, Raby, and Christian G. Gabby started with telling what she thought of the text which was that students and teachers are opposites. Kyle said that the teachers don’t allow creativity. As well that the teachers purpose is to teach and the students is to learn what is being taught to them. Sarah said that from he experience that teachers are doing better of not simply telling information to the student, I agree with this for I also experienced teachers that were more friendly towards students and tried to improve the learning experience trying to teach more or faster. Sarah also brought up that treating students as containers is not a good way to describe or treat students. Sabrina brought up how unlike slaves the teacher never realize that they learn from the students as well. Over all we agreed that this look of the student teacher relationship looks different now for at least most teachers and that it is usually the older teachers which are like this with the younger teachers don’t act like described in the reading. We also agreed that his look is probably due to it being written in 1970s which would explain why the type of teachers that are described are not seen often due to most likely them retiring from teaching and new teachers taking their place.
