Another quote from Freire's "The Banking Concept of Education"

While in class, this part of the essay was pointed out to us. This quote, I find, makes the most important point at the flaw of the banking concept.

"Implicit in the banking concept is the assumption of a dichotomy between human beings and the world: a person is merely in the world, not with the world or with others; the individual is spectator, not re-creator."

I find this to make a very valid point especially if we take another quote to be true. This quote is under the effects of problem posing education.

"The world- no longer something to be described with deceptive words-becomes the object of that transforming action by men and women which results in their humanization."

When we examine the first quote and the effects of the banking concept, we can see that it pacifies people. It makes us spectators, not the re-creator, transformer, of the world. The point here, from what i interpret, is that it slows down progression.
