In our discussion group we discussed how humans are told to consume information and spit out the answer like a computer or robot. I agree with this because many teachers just project a power point and expect us to know and understand the material without giving explanations or real life applications. Teachers also call out random students to answer questions based on the material they just gave the students, expecting the students to quickly memorize the information. Students feel the pressure to just memorize and spit out the information like robots in order to pass the tests. Students become only concerned in passing a test instead of applying and understanding the information. However, it does not have to be this way, students can take the information and ask questions and ask the teachers to elaborate on the information so that they can get more out of the lesson. The banking concept of education causes students to be like a computer or robot because the education system limits students creativity by making us be “deposits” of information.
