 Freire's pedagogy of the oppressed seemed similar to the chapter in Kuma which discussed the concept of  students being empty vessels to be filled by the teacher. The difference in Freire's pedagogy that I found, if I'm not mistaken, is that the students need to make a conscious effort to want to strive for knowledge. They should be mutual partners with the teacher to improve their knowledge. I find that the idea of oppressed people being able to have equal opportunities as those who are not oppressed is a great idea. I think the difficulty here is concerned with budget. It is ideal for all students to have equal opportunities when it comes to education. Maybe someday there will be a time when the amount of money a student's family has will not affect the degree of education they receive. This is something as future teachers we need to strive for. We must not take into account the area in which we teach. We should be the best teachers we can be no matter the environment.
