Paulo Freire Quotes About School

Quotes about: School

• Finally, it is important to make it clear that imagination is not an exercise for those detached from reality, those who live in the air.

When children imagine free and happy schools, it is because their real schools deny them freedom and happiness.

I can in no way underestimate such knowledge. Or what is worse, ridicule it.
