If we take as a given capacities such as self-directed learning and critical thinking, we end up abnegating our teacherly responsibilities and allowing more freedom too early than is healthy and appropriate. To be clear: __freedom is unhealthy and inappropriate to the extent that exercising it disallows greater future freedom.__

despite its focus on positionality and social location, standpoint theory does not argue for total relativity of viewpoints; every individual, socially located standpoint is equally strong for understanding reality. Rather, consistent with Marxist dialectical materialism, standpoint embraces the fact that we, as individuals, are expressions of social relations, and that, as such, we are tied historically, culturally, politically, and materially to institutions. Thus, __the point isn’t to say that “all standpoints are equal,” but instead that the position of the oppressed creates a stronger standpoint for better understanding the material reality of society.__
