Pedagogy of the Oppressed

While reading this, I couldn't help but think of Plato's Theaetetus. I know that this article is about education theory, which is kind of what Socrates and Plato were about. This text was very overwhelming and tough to sift through, though it was intriguing and insightful.
The word pedagogy has come up in the past couple weeks in my classes more than I have ever heard before in my entire life. I remember first hearing the word "pedagogy" in a learning community of English, Philosophy, and Psychology at Spokane Falls CC. I remember how well it went with Theaetetus. 
How do we justify what we teach? How do we teach the way we do? All of those things are pedagogy. As we are going through the education process, we are learning our own pedagogy.
While trying to sift through this text, I really liked the analogy of teachers being depositors and how they just deposit information into their students and their students just take it as they will, not reciprocating.
Again, the text is very Socratic in the way that he turns to discussion as a means of acquiring knowledge. Through discussions and through questioning. We learn so much from one another and we can grow so much. I think it is such a genuine skill and process to learn through questioning and through dialogue. The students are learning to form a voice and form an opinion, rather than thinking their own opinion is correct. Questioning should always be welcomed in a classroom, as well as dialogue and discussions. Which is really how freedom in a classroom is established. The students should be able to have a voice in the classroom and express their opinion. They should always take part in their education and their learning.
I really enjoyed thinking about students as "containers" and that we are filling those containers with what we teach. The fuller the container, the better of a teacher you may be. Some may agree or some may disagree with that statement, but as education is evolving and shifting, the students should embrace the autonomy that the teacher is giving them. I think this is something that the article touched upon, in so many words.
