Lambs that bark
To reimagine education from the experience of a teacher who never knew how to advance adequately.
by Juan Izuzkiza
Description
Juan Izuzkiza is a Philosophy teacher from the Basque Country who reflects with irony, a warrior spirit and love for his students on the dependency of current school curricula. Why are the students bored? Why do teachers assume a role of victims? What role do parents play in all of this?
The high school anecdotes that reflect the ineffectiveness of prescribed norms outside of reality give rise to reflections on the true spirit of teaching. Do we want standard students or to help our children have a future? The thought references used by Juan Luis Izuzkiza range from ancient Greek philosophers to current philosophers, intellectuals from our country or psychologists. With them we can rethink the relationships between parents and children, students and teachers, school and society in short. Nine short chapters to enjoy an entry into reality.
There are quite a few impotent and upset parents at work, dreading the phone call. (“ *Your son got up without permission at 10:09. ”Message received at 10:17). There are many children who are upset knowing they are constantly being watched. There are a lot of upset teachers because everyone is upset.
*Fragment of the chapter entitled "Bichos haciendo gestos raros" ("Bugs making strange gestures")
