Agree with most

The thig I probably agree with most is Freire's Banking Model of Education. While everything else we've ready has had reaction like "That's relatable, that is something that happens, these are good ideas" and so on, the banking model of education is essentially a collection of facts. Everything he says is exactly how it happens in schools, and the problem is obvious as soon as you start explaining what it is. The part thats a bit less fact and a bit more solution is still incredibly agreeable. His sugggestion that teachers should interact on the same level as students, using eachothers insights to explore information. I had an english teacher who taught this way and whenever we'd talk about literature he would be incredibly receptive to our ideas, which usually lead to tangents that generated a few thesis statements and some profound observations that's all way more productive and interesting than any canned responses or lesson plan.
