The banking model is a way Paulo Freire the education system. This model shows a student as an empty container being filled with knowledge by their educator. This also lets the teachers put whatever they want into the students regardless of the effect it will have students. It takes away some of the creativity of the students because they have to learn what they are told. I noticed that this has happened to me in some classes that I have taken in high school and even some classes now. Some of my professors have all the answers to the question in textbooks and if we have a question they tell us the answers are in the textbooks when we have test the questions come right out of the textbook so it feels similar to the banking model. This might be good because it allows students to learn a lot of information quickly and they could try to apply it to their own work.
