Summary: This is book is the real educational reform
Comment: 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.
