This paper relates that Freire suggests that a method to counter "banking" education is a "
problem-posing" education, or
cooperative cognition. The paper states that, within the "
problem-posing" method, the authoritative power becomes useless; arguments that must be taken on faith become irrelevant. The author states that he does not support Freire's position because he does not feel that he is being dehumanized in the lectures, nor are teachers his oppressors.
