Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Women in colonial times were expected to be wives and mothers. With few other career choices, educational opportunities beyond town schools were limited. Answers should discuss the types of schooling available to women at that time. The influences for change have been incremental. The creation of normal schools and publicly supported high schools were significant events in opening up career options for women. Answers could include a number of other influences, such as legislation (for example, Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments Act).

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Freire believes that teachers should be committed to social, political, and economic issues. They should have a critical consciousness of the power relationships in schools and of the conditions that affect their students. By understanding the true reality of their school situations, teachers can resist the oppressive conditions and help empower their students to work for social justice and to improve their communities.
