“The “Banking” Concept of Education”: Destructive or Convstructive? After reading Paulo Friere’s essay‚ “The “Banking” Concept of Education‚” I have personally come to understand that his argument ultimately states that modern education is the chance for teacher or professors to “deposit” their knowledge into their students who submissively accept what they are taught without question. Freire believes that there is no shared knowledge between teacher and student; the path to knowledge is a one-way

Aubrey Carter English 1101 “The “Banking” Concept of Education” and the Modern Workplace In “The “Banking” Concept of Education” by Paulo Freire‚ he widely expresses that the “oppressors” (teachers) just throw information at the students and they have no choice but to accept it. There is no real learning between the teacher and the student. The students are basically forced to memorize the information they’re being “taught”.

Education is not a privilege‚ it is a right. A privilege is an advantage or source of pleasure granted to a person‚ and it can be taken away.

This did make sense because when taking in facts that you know you are

The point Wallace is trying to make is that education corrupts an individual’s ability to pay attention to what is going on inside of them. Education is good; it allows individuals to have knowledge about a certain field of study they love‚ but it becomes a problem when it intrudes onto the self and makes one feel as though their opinion means more just because they have received an education.

In the article The “Banking” Concept of Education‚ Paulo Friere is trying to get the fact across that the way that teachers teach is an ineffective method. This banking system where the teachers just feed the students information to memorize has no use in the real world. There is no interaction between each other. It makes the students seem ignorant and the teachers the complete opposite due to the fact that they have no say into what they are learning. In this world people must be able to come up

In “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education” essay‚ the author Paulo Freire talks about two concepts of education – The Banking Concept and The Problem-Posing Concept. While the first concept focuses more on memorization‚ the second concept focuses more on learning. Freire believes in schools‚ education is more about memorizing stuff these days.
