Banking Model of Education illustrates a typical classroom scenario describing students as empty units that are filled with knowledge distributed by the teacher. This seems to me like every class I have taken before college. Most teachers just follow their course without student impact. I personally believe that the Banking Model should be used on certain subjects such as math. With such a straight forward subject, here is the equations and this is the solution. Any input from the student wouldn’t benefit the course. On the other hand, for subjective courses like philosophy or sociology which revolve around the student feedback the Banking Model just wont make the cut.
