Oppressed

I liked reading Freire's article about oppression. I felt that it helped point out things that all teachers should be aware of when working with students because you will have some students who are being or feel oppressed. It is important to be aware of this so you can know how to approach teaching. Letting the students know their voice is worth being heard no matter who they are is very important. Sometimes oppression is something we just forget about or that goes to the back of our mind because we are not the ones being oppressed. After reading this, it helped me remember that it is a big issue and something that we should not just put on the back of our mind. There are some things we may not be able to ever make fair when it comes to money and schooling, but what we can do as teachers is allow our students to not feel oppressed in our classroom and give them a voice.
