Found this while writing a paper yesterday. Well worth reading. "Both Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich saw that a glaring problem with contemporary educational
institutions is that they have become fixed in monomodal instruction, with homogenized lesson plans, curricula and pedagogy, and that they neglect to address challenging political, cultural and ecological problems. The development of convivial tools and radically democratic pedagogies can enable teachers and students to break with these models and engage in a form of Deweyian experimental education."
