Quite honestly, I was very confused about this text. At some points I had thought that I was beginning to understand what it was talking about, but then as I kept reading, I would just become lost all over again. Now I may be completely wrong, but I believe that the article was about finding other ways of teaching students other than just being there to merely fill the students heads with our own knowledge. The article goes on to say that banking education is the contradiction of what I had just stated but I am a little lost as to what banking education even is. From what I have gathered banking education could possibly be a form of education that does not care whether or not the students show their individuality. They do not care whether or not students are able to make an impact on the outside world.
Now I have no idea which stance this article is taking because, well simply, I did not understand it. Even though I did not fully understand the article, something that really stuck out to me was the section that talked about education as a practice of freedom rather than domination. This stood out to me because although I didn’t quite understand what followed, I think I can get the jist of it. I really like this because I have had teachers who did not allow for any creative thinking or any opinion that did not go along with their own and so just having the word freedom in there makes it seem as though teachers are allowing their students a chance to be free and willing to learn.
Unfortunately, I am not really sure how to feel about this article. Perhaps it was just a lot of information that I had no background knowledge of so therefore I just could not understand it. I really wish I could have. This is the only article that we have had to read that I just could not get into.
