Freire has a preoccupation of the way of thinking in the education. The things
we, the students, are given to learn are not putting our critical way of
thinking, by this means we are no analyzing, evaluating and expressing our self
and opinions. For this, he propose that the teachers and the students to have a
different way of thinking, different critically, so the teachers can teach
different with the students. Respecting and defending the way the teacher teach
and how the students learn, he thinks it’s important to be “democratic and
tolerant” by this he means taking for granted the opinions and point of view of
others and respecting that. From his curiosity, Freire has learn that in the
process of being curious there a moral excellence of being tolerant. By being
tolerant he understands and with understanding he learns different things from
different people. Curiosity is the force that moves him to keep learning until
the day he dies and to invest time on what calls your attention. Tolerance and
respect are the ingredients to work with others and learn from them.
Everyone has their right to
speak their opinions and way of thinking, how they express their opinions and
way of thinking is also a right. People have different ways of speaking and
talking and that is totally okay. There is no accent better or good than other
accents. “it is necessary to explain, to make clear to the kids or the adults
that their way of speaking is as beautiful as our way of speaking.” Says Freire
in the interview. By this he means that how someone speaks is no more of less
than how others speak.
