…studying requires the development of rigorous discipline, which we must consciously forge in ourselves. No one can bestow or impose such discipline on someone else; the attempt implies a total lack of knowledge about the educator’s role in the development of discipline.
Paulo Freire from Teachers as Cultural Workers
To study is to uncover; it is to gain a more exact comprehension of an object; it is to realize its relationships to other objects. This implies a requirement for risk taking and venturing on the part of the student, the subject of learning, for without that they do not create or re-create.
