I think his idea is appropriate for discussing oppression. As we know Major Jee is an English teacher in army. He's supposed to use this plan to soldier SS and I wonder how the Ss reflect this activity. Fundamentally from whom soldiers defense their own county? Who are the oppressors or the oppressed? ...

Major Jee, I was fascinated by what you were saying in class on Saturday about the limitations and restrictions that you have within your classroom. I guess you have the most difficult task of bringing critical pedagogies into your work.
Have you taught this class yet? I would be interested to see how the studnents reacted to it. Were they surprised to be given so much freedom to criticse? Did you feel like they were afraid/dubious to voice their opinions, thoughts and feelings?
Anyway, I am just curious! Your classroom must be a really interesting place!

*that's meant to say critical practices not pedagogies.
