3. The Education Banking of Reflection: The banking of education is a term used by Paulo Freire to describe and critique the traditional education system. But more precisely, it’s the name of a video that talks about the oppressive education. The banking of education is a video about how oppressive teachers can be with their students, but this doesn’t happen in all schools of course. I like the reflection about it because is telling us that not all the time, the teacher has the correct answer, and we as students have to speak up for ourselves and defend our ideas. Definitely what shows the video is still happening in many schools, where students have no voice over the teacher or adult’s voice.
