In our discussion we talked about Freire’s quote “here no one teachers another, nor is anyone taught. People teach each other.” We discussed how no one teaches each other and no one teaches themselves, but instead learning is done through communication of two people, where only one person is truly learning. What happens is you take your knowledge and give it to others through communication, you instead learn from teaching but not by being taught. Everyone learns and understands differently, and so in order to learn you must talk to another person, but only for your own self learning. We learn from our own personal experiences, not from what is being taught to us… you can not formulate knowledge. Engaging in a conversation, communicating with another person and speaking with that person is learning.
