free man should not learn the way of the slave . Plato
However, despite Plato, one has the suspicion that public education produces more bondage than freedom.
is paradoxical that our public schools have become in these closed institutions which are not recognized as a teenager, if not a young-and the criteria for deciding whether to buy the snack bar in the corner, or take sun behind the gates of the center, taking advantage of free time. And we do while terms such as criticism, autonomy, democracy, accountability ... saturate any pedagogical discourse.
This is only one explanation: the fear and false security. Parents feel "calm" leaving their children safe. The teachers also are parents, are of the same opinion ... and not give way to please customers. And the politicians already know: first of all not alienate the city by minutiae. So everything is perfect and rather square.
Only one detail eludes us, the head of Plato and that old adage: learn the hard way is like writing on water.
