Recommended: Banking education

Public schools all over the world have different classes and have different ways of doing things but in my opinion i think all schools should have a banking class. Schools should make this class mandatory and they should have to take it to graduate. I kids took a banking class it would show them how to save their money and how to save. A banking class could show them how to be successful and resourceful as well because it would teach us how to invest our money. This class could also show us how to write checks, how to use credit/ debit cards and it show us how it would be like when we get older and have to go to the bank or fill out checks or use a signature card.the class could really get us ready for our future so we will know what to do

  • Paulo Friere's The Banking Concept Of Education

    1603 Words  | 4 Pages

    If I were to walk down town and ask the average passerby what a school was they would probably describe something along the lines of “a place you can go to learn” (Passerby). This statement is technically true however “learn” is a very broad definition meaning to acquire knowledge or skills through experience, study, or teaching. When the average passerby says learn we can assume they are, for the most part, describing a teacher delivering knowledge to their students. This is how we as a society define learning. I would hazard that learning this definition is not the definition we should use. If what I am suggesting is true our school system is tragically misusing arguably the most important years of someone’s life. This is because they are learning not learning.

  • Paulo Freire's The Banking Concept Of Education

    1357 Words  | 3 Pages

    How do teachers attempt to control the way you understand the world? Paulo Freire, author of “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education”, declares that “Narration (with the teacher as the narrator) leads the students to memorize mechanically the narrated content. Worse yet, it turns them into ‘containers,’ into ‘receptacles’ to be ‘filled’ by the teacher” (216). Freire’s statement implies that teaching utilizing the banking concept shifts the role of students as learners to robots that receive data and execute orders given by their programmers (teachers) but do not actually recognize the significance of the information. I agree with Freire 's interpretations because even though my role in high school was a student, my continuous encounters with banking

    Education is not only the most necessary way to inherit knowledge, but also the most significant factor to determine our human being’s future. Nowadays, the most widely education model is called banking concept education in the whole world. The banking ‘concept’ of education is characterised by the storage act of relationship between teacher and student in schooling. For instance, the “banking” education is regarded as a banking system in schooling. The teachers do the act of teaching like a depositor to “banking” knowledge to students. Meanwhile, the students in banking education are like depositories to fully receive what teacher taught in class, and do their best to regurgitation. This kind of education model in Paulo Freire’s essay is called

  • Styles of Teaching: Banking Concept vs. Problem Posing

    1464 Words  | 3 Pages

    Education is defined as, “The act or process of educating or being educated, the knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a learning process, a program of instruction of a specified kind or level, the field of study that is concerned with the pedagogy of teaching and learning, as well as an instructive or enlightening experience” (No author). People begin their education from day one till the day they die. Every day we learn new things in different ways. Whether someone is just telling us some random fact or you are sitting in a classroom being lectured by a professor. The main focus of this classical argument involves the learning that is done in the classroom or lecture hall in the schools of America today. The question arose as to which style of teaching is most effective in sparking the minds of the receivers to make them become transformers of their education? Would the “banking concept” of teaching be more effective, where “the scope of the action allowed to the students extends only as far as receiving, filing, and storing the deposits” (pg. 260). Or would the “problem posing” style of teaching be the most effective, where by “responding to the essence of consciousness—intentionally—rejects communiqués and embodies communications. It epitomizes the special characteristic of consciousness” (pg. 265). In this essay I intend persuade you the audience to take in my experiences and the experience of two other authors, whom I will be showing you later, and take a look from my point of view.

  • Paulo Friere's Banking Theory

    1759 Words  | 4 Pages

    The concept of banking education attempts “by mythicizing reality, to conceal certain facts which explain the way human beings exist in the world; problem-posing education sets itself the task of demythologizing.”. Banking education rejects dialogue. dialogue is necessary in order to develop students’ critical thinking ability.The problem-posing method contrasts from the banking method. It is when teachers and students come together to discuss questions and come to conclusions. This method is a lot more useful because one persons opinion or views can be challenged by other peoples beliefs. This leads to open discussion where new information can be attained. This discussion helps people truly understand the realism of the world and helps them be able to apply the information used in real life. People can subconsciously pick things up from this and they might not realize it until they apply it later on in life. Once they apply it in real life they will realize that the way they are educated was the right way because they are actually able to problem solve and think for themselves instead of simply repeating information that they received. It takes more skill and it is a lot more satisfying when you solve a problem for yourself throughout questioning the topic. It is a lot better than just repeating information because this information that you learned previously is now

  • Comparing Banking Concept Of Education By Paulo Freire And Richard Rodriguez

    1045 Words  | 3 Pages

    I chose to compare the essays of Paulo Freire and Richard Rodriguez. Paulo Freire’s essay “The Banking concept of Education” talks of how education is mostly one sided and oppressive. He sees this as something that is detrimental to society’s future as a whole, and in his essay describes in detail how the “banking” concept is faltered. However, in Rodriguez’s essay “The Achievement of Desire” he is the model student that thrives in the kind of system that Freire was describing in “The Banking concept of Education”. Richard Rodriguez describes in “The Achievement of Desire” how his educational experience is a point of separation from the rest of the people and relationships around him. Though, this makes Rodriguez more connected and dependent upon his teachers for support and approval than his parents or peers. Both men write essays on their views on the benefits of education, and on the disadvantages of the current educational systems. I will be discussing the different points that both authors address by comparing one essay at a time. I will also be using outside sources to further examine what both authors were saying in each of their essays.

    The “banking” concept affects two social classes, which are the working class and the middle class schools. I enrolled in a middle class school were we all wrote down what the teacher said. Whatever they write on the board, we would copy down. During my senior year, last semester, I took an Economics class that took no work to pass the class. Our teacher, Mr. Adkins, would simply tell the students, “This is what we’re going to do in class today….” He list the topics out and it w...

  • General Education Classes Should Not Be Required

    1104 Words  | 3 Pages

    In conclusion, college is a huge milestone in a person 's life. What they do with their time and money during those years can be crucial to what they get out of it. General education classes should not be a requirement because they have already been taught a majority of the curriculum in high school, some of the classes can have nothing to do with your major, and it can be a waste of money by spending it on classes that they are not interested in. By making it a requirement to take general classes, you are taking away time that they could be devoting to their interests and major. College should be a time where you focus on learning what you are gonna do for the rest of your life, not trying to learn every possible subject that a school can offer.

  • Description of School Currency System

    How do students become financially prepared for the real world? Students go through school for quite a few years, they learn reading, math, science, etc. But there is not a finance class to teach students the basics of finance. Now you might think that students wouldn't take the class. That is why you could implement a school currency system. A currency system would be helpful in many ways, although many people are against it, because there could be some flaws in the system. Helping students improve grades, improving daily attendance, teaching important life skills, and improving a students level of responsibility, are reasons why a currency system should be implemented in school.

  • Paulo Freire: The Banking Concept Of Education

    1022 Words  | 3 Pages

    In The “Banking” Concept of Education, Paulo Freire effectively uses tone, ethos, pathos, and logos to argue that his proposed Problem-Posing education system is better than the common banking concept of education (Freire 33). The audience that Freire is writing to is going to consist of teachers and students. Teachers and students are effected most of all by the system of education that is used, and they are the ones that care most about how students are educated. In The “Banking” Concept of Education, Freire compares the current method of education to a monetary banking system where the information is deposited by the teacher into the students, and then the teacher withdraws the information when they please (27). Freire argues that the banking

  • Banking and Finance

    Never have I ever climbed a mountain peak. As a child, I imagined myself conducting expeditions in deep-frozen pathways, leading amateur explorers to the top of the world, and instructing rookies in surviving harsh blizzards. Even though slightly altered, my childhood dream has been achieved. I led a team of fellow classmates, in my Strategic Management course, to the success summit of a financial competition. Over the course of a semester, I and my teammates were supposed to create and manage a company of the IT industry, in a computer-simulated environment, along with other four rival teams. I dealt with strategy and financial matters of our virtual enterprise, while my colleagues were working on marketing and manufacturing. During the four months of the exercise, I have experienced finance from various aspects: capital budgeting, through selecting favorable investment for upcoming quarters; debt management, by assessing the necessary amount and efficiency of loans; profitability analysis and dividend policy, which had been used to compile the company’s general performance index. Working in a multinational team, which included an American, a Norwegian and a Moldovan, strengthen my negotiations skills, as well as flexibility and cooperation. But above all, this experience intensified my passion for finance. Of course, a pleasant bonus was the fact that, in the end, our company’s financial performance was six times the performance of second-best team.
