1. What would Friere say about "skills" versus "process approach" to writing debate?
2. Friere says: "Verbalistic lessons, reading requirements, the methods for evaluating knowledge, the distance between the teacher and the taught, the criteria for promotion: everything in this ready-to-wear approach serves to obviate thinking" (76).
a) In order to be an authority figure and manage the classroom, does there need to be some distance between the teacher and the students? Must there be boundaries?
b) Are the above categories entrenched in our educational system? Could Friere's description of a banking education be applied to the entire educational system as well as a singular classroom?
3. How do you plan to use problem-posing education in your classroom?
