"The Banking Concept of Education"

The addition of the information read from the website both further confused and enriched our understanding of Freire’s writings. The continuation of the theme of there not being much middle ground is present. He tends to take an either/or approach to oppression in education. Either the students and teachers are being oppressed, or they endorse the oppression. Freire writes about liberating people through peaceful discussion and the corruption of the education system. He considers it detrimental to the educational experience. Friere goes deeper than analyzing, he criticizes.
“A careful analysis of the teacher-student relationship at any level, inside or outside the school..”
“Second, Paulo Freire tends to argue in an either/or way. We are either with the oppressed or against them. This may be an interesting starting point for teaching, but taken too literally it can make for rather simplistic (political) analysis.”
