Summary: Chapter 2 of Pedagogy of the Oppressed

         Chapter 2 of Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire says that there is a major problem on the education system and it has been going on since 19^th century. Freire central his point in the problem of banking and problem-posing. Teachers want students to come to class quiet and copy and learn everything that they are told to teach. The students are the bank and the teacher is the depositor. Students should not know more than what they are thought. They do not want students to exceed the limits, if they do, then they are a threat to the society. That is why Paulo wants the education system to be taught with problem-posing, because this challenges the student to think more and dialogue. It opens their minds. But this type of system is not beneficial to society because it makes them analyze their surroundings and question types of decisions made.
