Blog Post #9

Here are a few questions that I have after this week's readings:
  • What does liberating education include?
  • What is the difference between engaged pedagogy and feminist pedagogy?  What are the similarities?
  • What impact has Paulo Freire made to social justice?
  • Are you influenced by Paulo Freire's work?  If so, in what ways?

BLM, LGBTQ, Dis/Ability, etc.

Blaming Mothers:  A disability perspective   This article discussed the many ways in which some school districts tend to take aim at blaming the mother for their child’s disability, which to me is by far the most unfair, unjust and wrong approach.   Instead, school districts should be offering support and resources to these mothers and children. It also provided four different stories that demonstrated how some school districts blamed the mothers for their child's’ behavior.  The mothers in these scenarios were often blamed for being incompetent, assertive, passive and for having a job outside of the home. The story of the working mother resonated with me the most because I am and have always been a working mother.  In this story, the school district passed judgement and blamed the mom for her child’s social emotional problems which resulted in the child often times running away from home and engaging in prostitution.   Unfortunately, the sc...
