I Have Never Said, As Is Sometimes Believed, Or Even Suggested That Lower-class Children Should Not Learn The So-called Educated Norm Of The Portuguese Language Of Brazil.

Language Is Never Neutral

In Problem-posing Education, People Develop Their Power To Perceive Critically The Way They Exist In The World With Which And In Which They Find Themselves; They Come To See The World Not As A Static Reality, But As A Reality In Process, In Transformation.
