This is book is the real educational reform,
By A Customer
This review is from: Empowering Education: Critical Teaching for Social Change (Paperback)
Professor Ira Shor, like his mentor Paulo Freire, denounces the current-traditional model of banking education--the practice of teaching where the instructor "deposits" information "into" the students. In the current-traditional model, the input is always selected by the authority, or teacher, and the student is a passive recipient of knowledge which has been preselected as both meaningful and useful for the student's future development. Professor Shor argues that this current-traditional model of teaching methodology not only places the "content" of the course beyond any control of the student, but it also prescibes the method of delivery for our students. I recommend the book to teachers and parents: we need empowered children and citizens.

Read during a course. Wonderful to discuss and chew over. The class was tough, but I thoroughly enjoyed the material.
