The theorist i chose is Montessori Theory. The reason why i chose this theory is because it really focuses on the teacher knowing what and when to do things. One example Montessori states is that a teacher should never help a student at a task he or she thinks they can succeed. This shows that its pivotal for teachers to know when and when not to congratulate children. The reason why i feel this would not be able to co-exist with Banker theory is because of a quote that stood out to me.

"Projecting an Absolute ignorance on to others the characteristic of an ideology of oppression, negates education and knowledge as a process of inquiry." (Freire)

I feel the montessori theory does not promote ignorance or seclusion due to one's educational status.
