In today’s discussion group, we talked about the comparison between Friere and Percy. When we refer back to Friere, we recalled how he talked about the process of learning and how students and teachers interact within the classroom. He often talked about the position of students and how they are to sit in a class and listen to their teachers and absorb all the information. The role of a teacher is to talk to their students without hearing their side of the discussion. We broke that up and said how class should be a discussion between students and teachers and how either group can learn from one another throughout different experiences. Percy talks about living in the moment and what you can learn outside of the classroom. We talked about how easy it is to get caught up in the details and forget to step back and really look at what is right in front of us. These two writers help to open our minds into looking at a new perspective of life.
