In our discussion we talked about how freire claims that “no one teaches another, nor is anyone self-taught. People teach each other”. Freire seems like he is contradicting himself in this statement. If you really think into I don’t think he is. Its hard to teach people because everyone has a different way on learning and interpreting information. You could try to teach something information multiple times and there is still a chance they won’t understand. People aren’t self -taught because you can’t learn anything completely by yourself. One of the most common ways people learn is through experience. If you make a mistake you know not to do that again and you learned from it. Another way people learn is from teaching another. If you explain information to someone they might not understand it at all but you will understand that information better and will actually learn more than if someone tried to teach you. Freire statement really makes you think deep into how people learn and what they learn from.
