Freire Gem

It's true that Freire isn't the easiest author to read. If you stick with it and dig into his words, you'll see the wisdom and clarity of his thoughts and hopes. "Pedagogy of the Heart" should be a mandatory read for all educators or soon-to-be-educators (after finishing "Pedagogy of the Oppressed"). I'm thrilled that his works are so well translated and still available to purchase.
