Student: Teacher, why do we learn?

Socrates: For life!

Freire: For liberation!

Dewey: For democracy!

Neoliberal EduWonks: To mitigate overhead costs for employers and increase future projections of GDP!
It’s really absurd that we’ve reached a point where the “common sense” view of education is that its primary purpose is to lower the future onboarding/training costs for companies hiring new employees.

Mine: . . . we need to continue to engage transnational
conversations with more sustainable methods that acknowledge everyday webs of influence as
a way of holding ourselves accountable for our role in the messes we inhabit, “for the hell of it,” and
for radical feminist “love of the world.”
