Rigidly covering planned material reproduces passive banking education

Evidence

To focus on covering material precisely is one way to slip back into a banking system. That often happens when teachers ignore the mood of the class, the mood of the season, even the mood of the building. The simple act of recognizing a mood and asking “What’s this about?” can awaken an exciting learning process. — bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress, 305
