Of course at the time I did not realize I was functioning as an ATM machine as Freire illustrates because under that kind of system, we were not taught to digest what we learned, but to simply contain the information, since it is "the universal truth" by definition. The textbook is the one and only source that all the teaching was based on. It was funny that no one in the class ever questioned the credibility of the textbook. .
Not until my first college history class had I known that history itself could be so "alive." The class explicitly stressed on the impact that each incident have had on human development (which is still going on during every moment of our lives) versus my high school history class was only focused on pure memorization of the dates and names, which essentially "died" when the event happened. Even though the students no longer had the need to memorize every historical details that happened, we faced a greater challenge - critical thinking. We were required to be able to draw connections from one incident to another, from past to current. During the discussions, the teacher and the students thoroughly practiced the so-called "reversible learning" - learning from one another, which harmonized the contradicting ideas among the teacher and the students. The history is no longer some dead facts presented in the textbook, but was then given its life again throughout the communication. My high school history class then became completely futile in comparison with my college history class because while my high school teacher thought that they were preparing us to quickly gain knowledge of the real world by apply their banking concept of education, they only trained us to think inside the box. If we were never guided to jump out the box, we would lose ourselves completely and stay in the box forever as an result.
*Freire then suggests that in order to free human race from losing themselves by the banking concept of education, liberating education, also known as, problem-posing education, is the key.
