I read this book for a seminary course in Christ Education. I greatly appreciated Brookfield's approach to education. I am unlikely to become a classroom teacher, so I may never get a chance to test out some of the approaches he presents. However, the underlying considerations will be very important to me as I think about how I teach in less formal ways.

I'm generally pretty liberal about race-related stuff, so no, my beef with this book is not that it's "too liberal."

I'm reading this with a group of other English Comp instructors, and while I appreciate the practical discussion suggestions, I'm additionally at a loss as to how I can practically incorporate Brookfield's exercises, since they seem to be geared mainly towards "let's talk about the patriarchy!"-type discussions and not "let's talk about writing topic sentences!"

I wanted this to be good... really, I did... but I think Friere is still the classic, and truthfully more useful, text on the subject.
