How The Banking Concept Has Created A False Perception Of...

Freire speaks of how the banking concept has created a â€Å"false perception of reality.† (Freire 226) The nature of this method of education is to revoke any sort of independent thought from the student, allowing only the teacher to provide the lessons and conversational layout for a class. The method creates this false perception of reality for the students. Without additional perspectives, the students are only able to see the world though their teacher’s beliefs. This issue is very problematic due to the importance education plays developmentally on human beings. Much of what we learn throughout our lives sticks with us and becomes part of who we are. The problem with these false perceptions is they attempt to destroy the very essence of what makes humanity extraordinary; our ability to reason. Freire writes: The more students work at storing the deposits entrusted to them, the less they develop the critical consciousness which would result from their intervention in the world as transformers of that world. The more completely they accept the passive role imposed on them, the more they tend simply to adapt to the world as it is and to the fragmented view of reality deposited in them. (Freire 217) Freire is describing the negative effects the banking concept can have on a student. This form of education slowly wears them down until they eventually forsake their ambition and accept the mundane â€Å"reality† they are being taught.
