Friere's Banking Education

It seems to me that Friere’s whole concept seems to focus on the fact that our system of education has devolved to a mass produced education churning out “learned” people like a factory. Many identical products at a low cost. What is lost in this though is the individuality that makes any particular item unique and possibly more valuable. Going back to people though, what is lost is the ability to reason or argue (non combative) through a discussion. What I got from the paper that open discussion is one of the things that should be brought back to our education system. Open dialogue between the students and the teachers rather than a unidirectional communication where the teacher is the only one speaking. This is one of the things that I really like the idea of as these kinds of discussions are the ones that I think encourages learning and retention. In my experience nothing sticks better than the experience of voicing a disagreement to an idea and having the point defended well. It also allows for someone to present what could be a general misunderstanding that the teacher is able to clear up. Something that may not have been otherwise presented and as a result accidently ignored.
