I postponed my recruiting day as long as I could in order to travel and enjoy as much as I could in that time. I knew that I was going to be a fighter and give up the convenience of being home everyday, eat home made food, go out with friends .....

The Ironies Of Education
Words: 884 - Pages: 4.... piece, Freire states that the "banking" concept of education suppresses the cognitive abilities of students and tends to dehumanize them. Moreover, the system teaches students to be passive, mechanical objects instead of teaching them to recognize and acknowledge their own existence.
