Lack of Differentiation : Pedagogy - Professor Prestome Ungyobrock I would like to think that public education is always improving. That neighbor hoods of less wealth will grow in wealth. Because when there isn’t an equal starting point, there should be that opportunity to at least know ideas that can help them improve their financial status. And when there are successful ideas stemming from student growth related to their interest: there is potential for evolutionary growth. The more options there are too achieve that the better. It is unfair that there is still a problem relating to public education unfair treatment. For a rough quote about the current education industry that’s focus is more about: The have and have not’s regarding financial stability. “A paradox of educational inequality. Since Schools remain among the few institutions that produce opportunities to contest structural inequalities… We believe that urban students should-go to college at equal rates to their more affluent counterparts… If school achievement were an accurate measure of intellect: achievement patters would closely mirror the random distribution of intellect that genetic scientists report in human populations. Instead, the results of schools are quite predictable. This lack of equality is true because the nation’s poorest young people are the most likely to be denied access to a quality education and then to be blamed for their academic failure due to the lack of resources etc.” (Duncan Andrade, Pages 1-10). There are people who believe that diversity isn't working in work/school environments, but the fact is true equality hasn't been achieved yet. People can't claim diversity doesn't work when it isn't fully implemented. I agree that schools should help sort kids into their roles in society, but that role should be an option for the student to explore. The more options the better for the student. However a student not having free will, to investigate different types of work, that they are interested in: doesn’t create the best workers in any field. That’s just some of my experience relating towards just going though classes, based more on dictatorship then freedom. My major is history and I’ve written alot about society and of course war. I’ve read or at least skimmed though, a decent amount of Nazi inspired writing. Pedagogy of Oppressed, by Paulo Freire: I think can be included as one those Nazi Documents. Where the writing’s main focus is to discourage revolution and stop equal education. In the 2 chapters that I’ve read of it, Paulo Freire, who is a clear fan of Karl Marx and the way that Nazi German schools were ran during the second world war. Where ideas like, “In order to regain their humanity they must cease to be things and fight as men and women.” (Paulo Freire, Chapter 1). The sentence alone, as well as pretty much all of his writing: views people, regardless if they get education or not: as things. Then the sentence encourages the things to go out and fight until they die. This is a typical Military idea, that isn’t limited to Nazi’s. I think the teacher excerpt/summary is well done, since its focus is about: how the original pedagogy of oppressed encourages human-drone ideologies where human personalities are destroyed to create mindless zombies or meat shield for the army. Done so through education prisons, “The capability of banking education to minimize or annul the student's creative power and to stimulate their credulity serves the interests of the oppressors, who care neither to have the world revealed nor to see it transformed.” (Excerpt Paulo Freire) Since that is the goal of the the original document, Pedagogy of Oppressed. However, the Excerpt/summary of the real document also leaves out a few important ideas. Such as how the actual document also reflects on the reality of learning from suffering, rather that pain is physical or mental. Ultimately many Nazi documents often go into more detail about the simple idea of learning from your mistakes and how if someone is over pampered with nothing new to learn that person then can’t evolve. Pain, is an important part of human development. Even when you think of muscle development, a muscle is destroyed before it is built back up stronger. This of course reflect most military laws by building 'stronger' soldiers. “The interests of the oppressors lie in ‘changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them’. For the more the oppressed can be led to adapt to that situation, the more easily they can be dominated. To achieve this end, the oppressors use the banking concept of education in conjunction with a paternalistic social action apparatus, within which the oppressed receive the euphemistic title of ‘welfare recipients.’ They are treated as individual cases, as marginal persons who deviate from the general configuration of a ‘good, organized, and just’ society. The oppressed are regarded as the pathology of the healthy society, which must therefore adjust these ‘incompetent and lazy’ folk to its own patterns by changing their mentality.” (Paulo Freire Chapter 2). That quote also goes into detail towards the authors bias of hating the homeless. Instead of perhaps blaming the lack of freedom in the education industry and the lack of available jobs. The focus of many Nazi related documents such as Paulo Freire’s writing there is a strong desire to increase military efforts at all costs to increase available employable staff relating towards military jobs.
