Bjork "Human Behavoir"

To be involved in the exchange between student and teacher is what is exciting and satisfying in education. But also there is no set route in this process and it can have its ups and downs. I feel Bjork's lyrics express this enthusiasm of human exchanges and its curiosities.

"The need for dialogue does not in any way diminish the need for explanation and exposition whereby the teacher sets forth his/her understanding and knowledge of the object. What is really essential in this process is that both the teacher and the students know that open, curious questioning, whether in speaking or listening, is what grounds them mutually- not a simple passive pretense at dialogue. The important thing is for both teacher and students to assume their epistemological curiosity."
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Freedom


--

If you ever get close to a human
And human behavior
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely no logic
To human behavior
But yet so irresistible
There's no map
To human behavior
They're terribly moody
Then all of a sudden turn happy
But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
Of human emotions is ever so satisfying
There's no map
And a compass
Wouldn't help at all
Human behavior
