The banking concept of education is oppressive
After reading "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Paolo Freire, I strongly believe that the banking concept of education is overwhelming and bleak. According to Freire, the banking concept of education could be defined as "the teacher issues communiqu"s and makes deposits which the students patiently receive, memorize, and repeat". In other words, is the student actually understanding what he/she is "learning" or is the student simply memorizing the material that was provided? What is education when...

The Banking Concept of Education is Oppressive
As a student I have felt oppressed by my teacher. Not only in knowledge but in ability. In being told I was wrong or i couldn't do something puts a strain on my actual abilities and knowledge. "His (the teacher) task is to 'fill' the students with the contents of his narration-contents which are detached from reality" This quote from Freire explains how the knowledge being fed to the children does not help them on a social standpoint but more a knowledge "dump site" where memorization and brai...
The purpose of education is development
Education is the key to development. Without education people lack cultural literacy, or the ability to comprehend, the ability to get straight to the point, and the ability to grasp information and connect it to real life circumstances. It is essential that all people know the same things. Without being able to understand and grasp the same knowledge, our means of communication are ultimately ruined. Hirsch states it best, "If strangers share very little knowledge, their communications must be...
Banking system of education is oppressive
The banking system of education can be explained very simply. We can say our education is money, our educators are the ones responsible for depositing the money and we are the bank. The depositor is responsible for giving the money to the bank and holding onto it. At any time, they can fed us information at any quantity or quality they choose. Without any money, a bank is not of use. With the ability to deposit money (or education) whenever they feel necessary as well as the quantity, educators...
The purpose of education is the development of the person.
Education helps develop a person. People are continuously being educated through daily activities all through their lives. For now, I will simply focus on education in the terms of a classroom. In "Pedagogy of the Oppressed", Freire discusses how the circumstances of a classroom can effect what the student takes from the class. Freire is against what he called the "banking" system of education. His saw this method to be oppressive as it belittles and dehumanizes the students to "a container" tha...
The Banking Concept of Education is Oppressive..
Oppression can be defined as the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner. In the case of education, a teacher should not be looked upon as a tyrant or person of extreme power or authority. With the Banking Concept of Education, students are basically powerless and are faced with a teacher or in this case, emotionless character of knowledge who's responsible for forcing information into students brains for the purpose of regurgitating on command. By doing so, stude...
Education is Development of the person
The purpose of education is development of the person. When one is taught and knowledge is then attained, that knowledge is the intellectual development of the person. This development is important for maintaining life, economic prosperity, and so forth. Hirsch, an American educator, advocates that universal literacy is a necessity in life because it leads to effective communication. Hirsch believes literacy is the basis for many changing tasks, which is an important component in the development...
Is the banking concept of education oppressive
I disagree with the banking concept of education. What makes us human is our ability to think and use our brain. But what happens when our thinking ability is taken away from us and we are forced to accept whatever is presented to us and follow it. This is what is addressed in "Pedagogy of the Oppressed." The banking concept also takes away the power of students imagination. Students pay a whole lot of money to be educated, so they should have the right to speak up or ask the teacher questions w...
Does Hirsch"s theory of pedagogy trump Freire"s?
Hirsch has the right idea about education. Without world knowledge, or cultural literacy as he refers to it, a person cannot develop adequate reading or writing skills. There is concrete evidence from the observations of reading specialists that support this claim: "Professor....Chall." (1.3) The effects of a lack of cultural literacy are already evident in today's world. Hirsch talks about how people today cannot communicate well. They struggle with conveying their ideas and thoughts both on pa...
