Freire goes forth to argue that this mass delusion is being weaponized by overseeing \u201coppressors,\u201d purposefully woven into structures of education. By its nature, this bank-esque concept of education rejects a humanistic dialogue between teachers and students, and normalizes a careless acceptance of streamlined ideas. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a whole, Freire\u2019s perspective is one that continues to exist within the baseboards of education &#8212; and likely always will. Ultimately, as a means of passive indoctrination, a handle on education continues to be the simplest route toward (an unfortunate) success &#8212; thus, it remains a potential or active strategy by those wishing to groom or indoctrinate. While I feel that Freire inches toward patronizing in how he represents teachers and students (as deeply unaware and obtuse to their own use as social tools), his fundamental ideas are, without a doubt, grounded firmly in an ever-prevailing cultural reality. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In \u201cThe Banking Concept of Education,\u201d Paulo Freire proposes a disconnect between \u201cmotionless, static, compartmentalized, and predictable\u201d narrations of reality, and the more erratic, dynamic living reality, as humans experience &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/uncategorized\/freire-oppression-and-the-revoking-of-humanity\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Freire, Oppression, and the Revoking of Humanity<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36\/revisions\/37"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eng296.digitalwcu.org\/WeeklyWriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
