Freire compares students to containers because they dont learn anything and they just store info in their brain like a container. One comparison I made was to a file cabinet, a brain is the same way you can only hold so much in it till you have to empty what you already had or get a new one losing all that old information. It is bad for students because they’re never going to hold onto information they learned in the past. As freire also said, students way of “learning” is just repetition over and over until they memorize it. They will never retain any of this information. I think a way a teacher and student can work together is to think of a different way to teach. It says in the writing that teachers see students as very dumb and they are superior to them. If they didn’t think this way and actually tried to help the students learn by being more hands on instead of just lecturing over and over until the students memorize the material, it would make it a much better learning experience for students.
