"Where is the OUtrage? Critical Pedagogy in Dark Times"
Taking into account the lecture given by Ginoux. The critical pedagogy has a big role and responsibility to make a change in education. Education needs to be seen in a different way by critical thinkers, pedagogues, and educators. It is necessary that each person start to worry about social issues like education. People need to defend public education and universities having strong arguments to show to those larger corporate and market-driven forces that the education is a really important aspect in a country. But, the bad situation in the public spheres is increasing every day because time goes by and those large corporations are taking the money from the institutions of democracy to invest it in others fields.
The major problem with the education today is that teachers are not helping to develop critical thinking in students. They are not preparing them for life in terms of reflecting on social problems and problem-solving. Teachers make students learn about topics that they need just for a subject or some knowledge to be evaluated through paper-pencil exams. It has brought problems to students since they are being easily manipulated. Teachers have to empower students to defend what they think or believe.
Each person needs to raise their voices to go against everything that wants to create these social classes which every time are stronger and divided the society between those ones who are rich and the ones who are poor. The inequality is bigger and there are more adults, young people, and children who are going through difficult situations due to economic factors. We have to do something to defend the rights of each person. Everybody needs to understand that society needs a change and together we can contribute to do it.
