Algunes reflexions correctes sobre què ha de ser ensenyar i com s'ha de fer. Possiblement un poc massa vell, però a nivell general fa el seu paper. Cada dia més ganes de ser una bona professora!

Hoewel geschreven vanuit de Franse onderwijscontext is er veel herkenbaar.
Een bijzondere blik op pedagogiek in onderwijs.

Read for the Literary Life Reading Challenge 2 for '22: Go Further Up and Further In
History. Biography. Topical. Choose two books with "opposing perspectives" (2)
Merieu y Tiramonti están no en las antípodas, pero sí en franco desacuerdo en algunos puntos. Merieu no gusta de profetizar la tragedia inevitable, ni de suscitar ira inútil en sus lectores. Que al fin y al cabo, busca llegar a las nuevas generaciones de profesores. Sin romantizar lo que se presenta, pero logra infundir ánimo y pasión.
Tiene un tono ligeramente laicista que a veces abandona, por una visión casi cristiana. Una tendencia a la sinceridad que francamente me recuerda más a Dorothy Day y me cautiva. Nos recuerda que sistemas 'aparte', estamos llamados a ser el transmisor de aquellos conocimientos teniendo en cuenta que alguien está delante nuestro esperándolo todo, y también con una vida fuera de la escuela. Que es posible darlo todo y sentirse desanimado, pero que no hay otra manera de que nuestra existencia dé fruto.

A must-read for every teacher, since this book philosipically approaches all the things that worry us on the classroom (knowledge-based vs skill-based curriculum, discipline and authority, and pedagogy as a love form).
By the way, dismiss everything Ietrio said on this thread. You can see he hasn't stepped in a classroom ever. Chickens***t guy even disallows comments on his posts LMAO

This book is weird. I have trouble writing this review.
I like the one piece cover. I found the used font unreadable which makes the book even worse. But I liked Meirieu made an effort to write less junk and concentrate more on what he wants to express. Yet entire paragraphs are only there to point out his silly erudition and muddle the vague ideas more. Still, the editor had the presence of spirit to take out phrases just like in magazines and put them to the side of the text. From a certain point of view, reading just that could be enough to gather the fuzzy ideas this old bureaucrat is trying to sell.
As a philosophy book this is a small step in a good direction. It tries to embrace the science when building up the pseudo-argument. Still, it does not break from the bergsonian tradition of going on intuition and science is just a word with no special meaning for Meirieu. Thus, science is what he [Meirieu] has simply because he has climbed the administrative ladder up to "prof".
This is where the good part stops. The book is also a rather structured set of ramblings. Now, if you ask a farmer who has milked the cows for the last 20 years about managing a nuclear power plant you might get an answer at the same quality level as the Meirieu argument. Only that Meirieu is specialized into education. And he even has the nerve to teach others. Page 35. An old man, Meirieu, is completely ignorant of the fact that the school grades are subjective. Also he does not have the vaguest idea of what an arithmetic mean could mean. This way he might find ridiculous if somebody would ask him what is the temperature in France in 2010, yet he can develop a whole argument based on the fact "the French would do a 12 out of 20 in language".
