Banking Method - Small Group Discussion 11-14-13

After reading the Frier's "The Banking Concept" we read "The History of the Man" then compared both pieces with "Paula Frieire" on infed.org. Some similarities are the me ntion of the problem-posing method from "The Banking concept" which both critiques and praised in the piece on infed. "The History of the Man" we learn that Freire originally wanted to end hunger and break class boundaries, he ends up wanting to fix education as seen in "The Banking Concept." In "Dead Poet's Society" we see both methods of teaching, where the majority of the teachers are teaching the banking method and Mr. Keating teaches using the problem-posing method.
