I also remember some teachers practices that were considered alternative and that at first felt different to me since I was conditioned to baking education for so many years.
Hi everyone!
Like Brenda, it was farfetched to me to have more autonomous roles as a student until I got to college.
In college for example, it was the first time I remember a professor telling the class to decide which topic to study about and then present it to the whole class as the expert in that topic. Other professors took us to the theater, to museums and plenaries and other professors involved us in the discussion about the elections for the new university president and the implications of the elections in our lives.
I do remember small demonstrations of liberatory education in K12, but I guess that the way school is organized in general make us think that so called no traditional education is "too alternative". This view of transgressive teaching as negative causes us to see it in this way when we should be seeing banking education as the problem. A problem that generates similar results and inequality over and over again.
Best,
Viviane
