Reflection of the Pedagogy of the Oppressed So far throughout my school career‚ I have noticed that I have become a victim of memorizing information the teacher preaches but I never really analyze the importance. For example‚ the Healthcare debate that has been going on throughout the last couple of years. I know that Obama is establishing a new healthcare plan but if someone asked me a question about the importance of the healthcare plan‚ I could not tell you the answer. I have finally been able
