Herr and Paolo Freire are both influential philosophical authors who understand that they have somehow looked beyond the boundaries when it comes to education. Herr learned more through personal experience, while Freire didn't exactly explain how he gained this knowledge, but he is on the right track because he has similar attributes to Herr. This is why there is little at stake between choosing one theory over another. There are a few though. By choosing Herr over Freire, students will have greater freedom to explore the greatest depths of their imagination and succeed. However, not every student would be able to handle this as well as Herr did during his college experience. If you were to choose Freire over Herr, both the student and the teacher would be in a mutual atmosphere while still being successful. The student would be able to move forward in the world knowing that they are not the only one receiving mental help through their university.
