Everyone should have the right to a good quality education. They should be taught to express their opinion on different ideas and express their feelings, instead they are taught to follow the rules of society. In the article “The Pedagogy of the Oppressed”, Paulo Freire talks about the relationship between the student and the teacher and how each of them plays a different role in the education system. The teacher's role is to educate students by having them copy what's on the board and memorize it, sometimes without understanding what it means because that's what they're paid to do. On the other hand, students must listen to what teachers say, copy what they write and memorize it without saying a word or asking questions because teachers are the only ones responsible for this. Writer and activist James Baldwin states that “The purpose of education, ultimately, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for themselves, to make their own decisions… To ask questions about the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is how he achieves his own identity. But no society is really eager to have these kinds of people around. What societies really, ideally, want is a citizenry that simply obeys the rules of society." Education should be fun for people to learn more and encouraged to do better, but it's not. They are forced to learn what society wants from them instead of letting them create new ideas and do what they want
