Chapter 2 "Balance in power"

This chapter was really interesting because it talks about balance of power it mentioned that there are three main reasons why teachers will not share the power in the classrooms, the first one is because students cannot be trusted because they do not maturity enough to take give them the power of the class and also because of the knowledge that they got they are not well prepare to be in front of others and teach. The second one and the most interesting for me is that teacher controls the classes because that could make them fear vulnerable, I believe that this part refers to the feeling of  lossing control because they could meet people who think differently and this can make the teacher feels unconfident. Sometimes sharing the power will have some benefits as for example the comfort, because through this students may have the feeling that they can have some freedom  that will motivate them to participate in classes and form part of the group but all the freedom needs to be under some regulations because having almost the same power of teachers do not means that students are going to do whatever they want everything about balance of power need to be done with responsibility.
