A core, overarching idea offered by hooks, is that \u201c…any radical pedagogy must insist that everyone\u2019s presence is acknowledged\u201d (8). Further, hooks states that \u201c[Students\u2019] contributions are resources\u201d (8).

This idea is particularly fascinating to me because, on a superficial level, it seems that it would (or, should) be common sense. Most people would probably agree with the claim that a collaborative, dynamic environment, which is encouraging of \u201cexcited\u201d discussion, would make an ideal classroom. It is unlikely that, hypothetically, a person would openly endorse the perfect inverse: A classroom where students do not actively engage or participate with one another, and where the professor functions as an untouchable authority and all-knowing dispensary of information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in practice, the classroom described by hooks is still not the standard. It is far from a universal model, in the functioning reality of education. Although many people would agree with hooks\u2019 ideas (on a generalized, hypothetical level), it is also true that many students and<\/em> educators aren\u2019t actively driving hooks\u2019 ideas into reality. Many do<\/em> make this effort, but ultimately, hooks\u2019 vision of the optimal classroom involves the continuous participation of all<\/em> those involved. In order to drive the collaborative classroom into normalcy, students and educators alike must agree to foster such an environment; it must be an active effort, by all those involved. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
