Pedagogy, teaching, is set up as a means of objective transmission, one rule, one theorem after another. This knowledgeis supposed to be conveyed from the Teacher's mind to the mind of the pupil. But this transmission is predicated (set) on a relation of inequality.
Fir the Teacher knows something that the student will never know, short of becoming a Teacher her/himself and that is, something that is more important than the knowledge conveyed between the two parties.'
And what's that?
'You see the teacher knows the exact distance between ignorance and knowledge the pedagogical distance between a determined ignorance and a determined knowledge.'
We must reframe the pedagogical (teaching) relation between student and teacher.
The role of the teacher, supposedly, is to suppress the ignorance of the pupil.
Yet the pedagogical scheme the ignorant person (student) is not only the one who does not know what he does not know; he is as well the one who ignores what he does not know that he does not know and ignores how to know it.'
Got that?
'You see the Teacher knows something that the student will never know, short of becoming a Teacher her/himself and that is, something that is more important than the knowledge conveyed between the two parties.' So what does he know?
'The teacher knows the exact distance between ignorance and knowledge, the pedagogical distance between a determined ignorance and a determined knowledge.'
So?
'What one gets from this form of education is stultification for the pupil, not emancipation.
Just another though process of not being passive (not that you are) in the learning mode.
