We simply cannot go to the laborers - urban or peasant - in the banking style, to give them “knowledge” or to impose upon them the model of the “good man” contained in a program whose content we have ourselves organized. Many political and educational plans have failed because their authors designed them according to their own personal views of reality, never once taking into account (except as mere objects of their actions) the men-in-a-situation to whom their program was ostensibly directed.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Don’t underestimate the ingenuity of others.
