{November 8, 2006}   Banking Concept of Education

1. The class would be more of a seminar with the teacher as one of the community of learners. A group of students discussing and analyzing a problem in math, a point in history, or a story in the english class. They should be rich discussions where students pull apart the evidence, questioning the facts, and coming to their own individual conclusions accourding to the arguments. They should challenge each other’s opinions and think about the real circumstances that would relate to the topics and they do not even have to come to a black and white answer for the problem. The exercise should be in really thinking about the problem. Teachers would benefit from the problem-posing classes because they would have a fresher approach to the problem as a result of the students really thinking. During my Humane Letters class, we all discuss the characters and the plots. We deciede what we personally think about the characters and we argue our positions with other people who have opposite views. When I was concious then I didn’t have a certain kind of message forced on me. I get to make up my own mind. 2. Praxis means liberation and in the essay it is refered to as “an action and reflection of men and women upon their world in order to ransform it.” Alienation is a way to isolate somebody and according to Freire people should not be alinated. 3. I think that Freire is faithful to his own beliefs. He allows us to have our own opinion while giving us something to think about.
