Is there anytime where a banking style of teaching is more effective or someone might prefer?

Teachers needed to start a philosophy to get rid of the idea that students aren't just jars to put stuff in but actual people who won't always be well discipline. -Lizzy

Currently, mainstream teaching practices focus on memorization makes it so critical thinking is discouraged and can produce students who aren't taught how to think critically.

"problem pushing education" treats students and teachers as equals; what age group does this teaching strategy benefit the most? What if students need discipline to do work?

"Knowledge emerges only through invention and re-invention" how do you make a lesson that e compasses it?

When their efforts to act responsibly are frustrated, when they

find themselves unable to use their faculties, people suffer. "This

Suffering due to impotence is rooted in the fact that the human

equilibrium has been disturbed."

"Problem-posing education affirms men and women as beings in the process of becoming as unfinished, uncompleted beings in and with a likewise unfinished reality."

How does Freire's concept of "uncompleted beings" challenge traditional notions of education as a means of transmitting fixed knowledge, and what implications does this have for the role of teachers and students in the learning process?

Yet only through communication can human life hold meaning.
The teacher's thinking is authenticated only by the authenticity of
the students' thinking.

I think education needs to prioritize life skills more especially as the younger generations become more and more reliant on devices and other distractions.

The education was basically designed as teachers being the all knowing beings that are supposed to cram in information to the unknowing students which basically develops a power dynamic where mutual respect isnt promoted and this directly goes against thinking outside the box and questioning things for their reasoning and justification. I think its a bit inefficient but now a days diluted because I don't really see this much as i've grown up going to school in another state and country.

"education thus becomes an act of depositing, in which the students are the depositories and the teacher is the depositor" is an abstract way of thinking about teaching, which doesn't seem as effective

What do you think about the banking style teaching? Do you think its more effective?

I think education is being described as brain washing in this reading, the problem posing model tries to push critical thinking as opposed to just taking in and memorizing information.

In Freire's words, teachers, whether consciously or not, are teaching under the banking method, leading students to become almost "dehumanized." Freire also compares these students to "automatons", or robots. He suggests the problem-posing method instead, because then both teacher and student stand on level ground.

The banking style of teaching creates atmosphere of resentment towards education for students. Education being a transaction will backfire, creating more challenges then progress for students. Education and learning knowledge shouldn't be a transaction. Learning at school should be seen as an opportunity that can benefit you socially, academically and mentally.

To create a better power dynamic for students and teachers. Teachers should be seen as leaders or role models. Rather then a supervisor that causes students unnecessary stress.
