    That book is foundational in my teaching style. It is one of the most influential books for my entire ideology and worldview. I recommend it to everyone, but especially teachers.

      Yeah, I'm in education and at some point I want to teach. It is doing a lot of numbers on my ideology, worldview, and what I look forward to making part of my own teaching style.

        Honestly, I think this book really helps soften one's ideology from an arguably ML perspective. It's a really well grounded work, and points to the importance of fitting your praxis to the needs of the community, in an educational framework.

        It should be on every leftist's reading list.

          I definitely find myself questioning my understanding of societal needs. And I must admit, my knowledge of my community is lacking, for a variety of reasons: primarily that where I live does not feel like a community at all.

        What state? Feel free to dm me with questions about getting certified. I used to be a classroom teacher and really felt I was able to make change/do good in that role.

      More and more I am excited about Pedagogy of the Oppressed. This comment may have just bumped it to the very top of my reading list.
