"教育者には中立でない義務がある"
— Paulo Freire
Simplified Meaning:
Teachers should not act like they don’t care about important issues. If a teacher sees something unfair, it’s their job to speak up and teach their students about it. For instance, if a teacher knows that some people are treated badly because of their race, the teacher should talk about this and explain why it’s wrong. A good teacher helps students understand right from wrong, and encourages them to think for themselves and stand up against injustice. By not being neutral, teachers can inspire students to be better people and help make the world a fairer place. This means educators play an active role in shaping students' values and encouraging them to take positive actions in society.
