The rod’s only pedagogical function is enforcing the banking model of education

Evidence

Freire’s alternative — dialogical pedagogy, the pedagogy of liberation — positions teacher and student as co-investigators of the world. The teacher does not deposit knowledge. The teacher and student generate knowledge together through dialogue, critical reflection, and action (praxis). The rod has no place in Freire’s framework because the rod is the banking model’s enforcement mechanism. Remove the banking model and the rod has no function. — , The Rod and the Child, 5002
