Quietly,but non-stop…, we read something…

Socrates GRUNDTVIG: parents at schoolSocrates GRUNDTVIG: parents at school 1515

“Education bequeathes things because it aims to preserve and that because it tries to preserve certain things because somevalues, behaviours, abilities and ideasare considered positive. It is never neutral: it implies choosing,checking,presupposing, convincing, praising andrejecting. Education favours an ideal of managainst others, a model of citizenship,of work rules, of psychological developmentand of what being healthy is, which is not theonly one but is accepted as the best”

FERNANDO SAVATER. The value of education
