On Friday, September 13, my group discussed what we thought was the determining factors in what makes a teacher good or poor. We then connected that to how what we believe relates to Freire\u2019s beliefs when it comes to the education system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My group began by sharing what we each considered to be desirable attributes in our educators. We discussed how important it is to engage students in what is being taught and share examples that the students are able to understand. We also said a good teacher will make connections with his or her students and will care for them enough to offer them their own independence. Some qualities that students do not appreciate in their teachers is when the teacher is ignorant or insensitive to personal problems students have. We agreed that teachers should not forget that students are also people. We also said that as students we do not appreciate when teachers teach memorization and only go through the motions of teaching without putting any real thought into it. We connected this to Freire\u2019s\u00a0Banking Concept of Learning<\/em> because Freire also states that teachers do not teach how to think, but instead how to memorize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
