high school career began at a small school in New York that centered around the belief that a discussion based learning environment was essential for any subject. My teachers steered clear of throwing lackluster facts and information at the students.

In the book Teachers as Cultural Workers by Paulo Freire teaches how one can become a better teacher and the importance of education.

While in high school‚ I took an anatomy and physiology class which was the best class I have ever taken. It was not all about lecturing and taking notes but learning and having fun‚ too.

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.
