Experience Teaches Us Not To Assume That

Liberating Education Consists In Acts Of Cognition, Not Transferrals Of Information

The Unfinished Character Of Human Beings And The Transformational Character Of Reality Necessitate That Education Be An Ongoing Activity.

... Studying Is A Preparation For Knowing; It Is A Patient And Impatient Exercise On The Part Of Someone Whose Intent Is Not To Know It All At Once But To Struggle To Meet The Timing Of Knowledge.

Transformation Is Only Valid If It Is Carried Out With The People, Not For Them. Liberation Is Like A Childbirth, And A Painful One. The Person Who Emerges Is A New Person: No Longer Either Oppressor Or Oppressed, But A Person In The Process Of Achieving Freedom. It Is Only The Oppressed Who, By Freeing Themselves, Can Free Their Oppressors.

The Oppressors Do Not Perceive Their Monopoly On Having More As A Privilege Which Dehumanizes Others And Themselves. They Cannot See That, In The Egoistic Pursuit Of Having As A Possessing Class, They Suffocate In Their Own Possessions And No Longer Are; They Merely Have.
