a commongoal (a new way of being and relating requires imagining what non-hierarchical structures wouldlook like). The project of liberation is the project of daring to imagine.IntroductionTeaching takes place in a physical space with configured interactions of the instructor with thestudents. The traditional mode of education presupposes the instructor as an authority“depositing” knowledge into the “clean-slates” (students’ minds), who in turn regurgitate thatdeposited (memorized) knowledge in assessments. This is described as the banking concept ofeducation by Freire [1]. This model discourages creative engagement of the student with theworld and encourages uncritical acceptance of the oppressive power structures. This process

As a result, parents usually place more emphasis ongetting their children involved in afterschool and weekend sports activities versus educationalprograms [4], [5], [6]. When parents do pursue educational programs for their children, theyencounter additional obstacles.
