Incorrect. Oppressors and oppressed must work together to create a system to hold each other accountable. If oppressors make the system they will continue to oppress as normal, if the oppressed make the system they will oppress their former oppressors out of a desire for retribution and also because each oppressed person only has an oppressor as their reference point for what a "non oppressed" person should be like and how they should behave. Only through cooperation and collaboration can the oppressed and the oppressors overcome the dynamic that keeps both of them stuck into their predetermined roles.
Read "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paulo Freire.
I would argue for Freire's classic on progressive pedagogy: Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
Teaching is a fantastic job, but it's demanding and complicated. Stick with it and you'll be rewarded one day by realizing that teaching isn't what you do, it's who you are. Good luck.
I'm finishing up Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire right now. It's absolutely fantastic, and has already changed the way that I view and frame the world. Basically it's a theory on oppression written in the 60's that proposes a method of empowering oppressed people through dialog and self-reflection. In other words, it's a field guide to understanding and sparking successful education-fueled revolutions. It'll make you think, hard.
