This dude sounds like a right barrel of laughs! I bet his Christmas party will be a real hoot.
i am about to begin my student teaching in a high school - i am 35 years old... and paulo freire is my hero.... i have focused on his views and his critical pedagogy design to frame my teaching philosophy. it is always insightful to see what others think of him. thanks! Laurie
