I have heard about this book in a few of my other education classes, but it was just a mere mention. I think all future teachers need to read this book as it is very insightful.
The second chapter was interesting. In this chapter the banking models is described which is were students are empty bank accounts that should be kept open to deposits made by the teachers. Freire disagrees with this approach because it dehumanizes the student and the teacher. Paulo Freire has a big problem with this approach because it stimulates the oppressive attitude talked about in chapter 1. He suggests instead to look at the student AND teacher as incomplete. In this case Freire is using education as a way to shape a people and the society. We are to learn together and from each other. In today's society many people feel there are smart and dumb and you can't learn from anyone how is not as smart as you. I think Freire would disagree as he feels all people are incomplete and everyone needs education to change the society.
