I would have to agree with Freire that teachers today are judged based on how much information their students can spit back at them, not neccissarily what they know. The fact that teachers do this can be very frustrating to the student when the teacher is explaining something and when you don't understand what they are saying they get angry at you for not just "getting it." This would then lead to the conclusion that Freire is right when he says that misbehaving students arn't "bad" students, just students that arn't willing to be drug along by their noses until they vagly understand what is going on.
I would also have to agree with Freire when he says that people are just empty voids where people in authourity tell them what to think. Now i don't completely agree with him but i think he has the right idea going on. Most people are greatly affected by what they hear and see on T.V. or the radio, and like it or not most of the stories are edited or censored to say, not what's actually the truth, but what the people giving you the information want you to hear.

If we weren't influenced so easily by what we see on TV, where would the advertising agencies be? How would we know which products to buy? We are very driven by this!
Do you think we can break away from this system or is it the system we are stuck with forever and ever?
After our conversation today, it is interesting to go back and read some of your blogs. It becomes more apparent as I read through how some of your ideas and thoughts are driven.
