Author’s Note After reading Freire’s essay I reflected on all of my education experiences inside and outside of the classroom. Out of all of my years on this planet‚ learning things from professional educators and loved ones‚ the one person that really stuck out was my seventh grade history teacher.

Paulo Freire severely scrutinizes the banking concept of education. He dislikes everything about the traditional teaching method‚ where the teachers just fill the students with information and hope the students retain it long enough to spit it back out to them on tests.
