Thanks for the pointer about Freire. I didn't know of this
writer before. I ran into Ivan Illich from the anarchist trail:
Max Stirner, Michael Bakunin, Hakim Bey.

Stirner, especially, has a number of fire-y things to say
regarding education.

Max Stirner: "The False Principle of our Education"

"Where then will a spirit of opposition be strengthened in place of
the subservience which has been cultivated until now, where will a
creative person be educated instead of a learning one, where does
the teacher turn into a fellow worker, where does he recognize
knowledge as turning into will, where does the free man count as a
goal and not the merely educated?

(published originally in April 1842 in the Rheinische Zeitung,
and was a preview of his _The Ego and His Own_, published
two years later.
