    Banking Concept

    • 3171 Words
    • 13 Pages

    In The “Banking “Concept of Education Freire discusses the conventional way of teaching as a trap that creates an oppressive environment in education and cripples students in their knowledge and their ability to take action later in life. Freire discusses that the teacher and student relationship contributes heavily to this oppressive atmosphere in the classroom and encourages ignorance on behalf of the student. I challenge Friere’s thoughts of escaping from education as we know it today; and instead combine the traditional styles of the past and the new problem posing solution of the future together. Reflecting on my experiences in education and analyzing the text of Friere I have developed my own theory of education. Students need to believe they are the future and need to be prepared to act and fill the roles they are given in times of success and times of failure. A balanced education will prepare them for all the situations that they will be faced with in their future outside the classroom.…

    The term Ponzi scheme was named after Charles Ponzi, a con man from the 1920s. Ponzi began his “business” by buying and selling international reply coupons. He was able to persuade some friends to invest in this endeavor, by telling them that he could double their investments. Essentially, Ponzi made no profit off of this scheme because the circulation of money from new investors is what sustained his “business”. Unfortunately for Ponzi, many investors and the media began to question the legitimacy of such high returns and his sudden rise to success and wealth.…

Charles Ponzi, the naming convention originator, used this same type effort with postage stamps and con savvy investors to increase the capital needed to trade.

    The Banking Concept

    • 298 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In Freire’s essay “The Banking Concept of Education”, he discusses the importance of a student-teacher relationship and the issues of the educational system. The banking method signifies how teachers “fill” up their student’s minds with knowledge without any questions. This method, Frerie believes, limits the student’s capability to think for them-selves that leads for students to constantly rely on information from their teachers. Freire then proposed a solution for the banking concept called “problem-posing concept”, a method that challenges student’s mind when being educated. The problem-posing concept creates a communication between a student and the teacher, where they can both learn and challenge one another with a free thought.…

    Have you ever gone into a class, sat down, staring at the teacher, bored out of your mind? If this rings true for you, then you are familiar with Paulo Freire's "banking concept". The banking concept is an educational technique where teachers deposit information into students' minds. I believe that this system does not work because the students never really have to understand what they are learning. Students just have to sit through a class, remember what the teacher tells them for the test, and never have to remember that information ever again. My high school AP environmental science class used the banking system and failed because it was memorization based,…

    Ponzi Schemes

    • 1230 Words
    • 5 Pages

    A fraudulent investment operation in which the perpetrator promises the investor a high return on their investment, not from any actual profit earned from the organization but instead from recycled money already paid by other investors, is called a Ponzi scheme. In many Ponzi schemes, the swindlers focus on attracting new money to make promised payments to earlier-stage investors and to use for personal expenses, instead of engaging in any legitimate investment activity. There are countless examples of ponzi schemes dating back to as early as the 1920’s and all of them are the result of greed and the desire for immeasurable success. While the American dream promotes the opportunity of success and wealth, some do not understand, or possibly ignore, the ethics and legalities of running a legitimate business and earning honest profits.…

    Paulo Freire says teachers are narrators that only feed students information. The students act like containers, turning into receptacles that the only way taught are by being filled with what the teachers tell them or narrates to them (Freire 1). This is why education suffers from narration sickness. Throughout the years many teachers around the world have been applying the “Banking concept” towards the way they teach their students; and in my perspective it is not the best way of implementing the kind of learning our children need in the future to help them succeed in life. Throughout my education teachers have expected me to memorize facts. They would narrate details without thinking about how the concepts of their teachings would relate to the real world. This “Banking Concept” prevents students from using their cognitive skills; therefore, they are not prepared to make clear decisions in the real world where as the problem- posing method offers a solution to this narration sickness.…

    In Paulo Friere’s article “The Banking Concept”, Paulo argues that the banking method is an efficient way of learning in the education system. The students are to sit down, stay quiet, received information, memorize it, and then remember it. Since this method requires them to simply memorize the information, the students don’t completely understand fully the information that they are taking in. The underlying message here about the banking concept is that the teachers feed students the information, acting as if they are completely informed about the whole subject, and then suggesting that the student knows nothing. There is no relationship established between the student and the teacher. The student…
