whats your concept about the bank of Education I think that all of the points mentioned above regarding the application and feasibility of the problem posing education described by Freire are important. I especially agree with the connection Luke made to the Anyon article and to how the emphasis on standardized testing might force teachers to teach in using the banking model and not the problem posing model. It made me wonder about the particulars of applying the problem posing education model to schools. Is this model compatable with standardized testing? My gut reaction is no. Just as Luke says, if you are asking students to learn first by engaging in praxis and learn facts based on the questions raised by their collective inquiry, how do you measure their achievement on a multiple-choice test? I think you have to be able to measure, somehow, student achievement in order to measure progress and identify areas of weakness. further information visit:: https://blogsmons.georgetown.edu/voke-philofeducation/2011/10/10/the-banking-concept-of-education-paulo-freire-hits-the-nail-on-the-head/
