The banking model to Friere is the idea that what a teacher says is processed in the student’s mind, which is how the student learns. This model empowers the teachers because they have so much authority that they can literally tell lies to the the student, and the student has to believe this. It disempowers students by making them ‘mindless’ students that listen blindly to the teachers. This model empowers teachers and disempowers students at the student’s expense by making them almost like robots that follow orders without hesitation. I personally do not have any experience with this model because my teachers have always been more flexible and willing to learn from us as well
